If not treated in time, it will lead to local lesions and induce cancer. Early treatment can control the development of the disease, and most patients can achieve a cure, so the sooner the better.

3. Gastric cancer patients have no obvious symptoms in the early stage. A few patients may experience nausea, vomiting, loss of appetite, abdominal pain and other symptoms. As the disease progresses, it may cause black stools, vomiting blood, etc. Most patients will lose weight as the disease progresses, affecting the normal functioning of the body. First, you need to go to the hospital for further examination. According to the examination results, then follow the doctor's advice and use treatment methods such as endoscopic mucosal resection and endoscopic mucosal stripping. You can also follow the doctor's advice and use chemotherapy. The drugs used include paclitaxel injection, cisplatin injection, carboplatin injection, etc., which can control the spread of cancer cells.
