How to detect early symptoms of gastric cancer

How to detect early symptoms of stomach cancer?

1. In the early stage of gastric cancer, most patients have no obvious symptoms. Only a few patients show nausea, vomiting or symptoms similar to peptic ulcer. These symptoms are not specific, so the diagnosis rate of early gastric cancer is low. A history of pain and weight loss are common clinical manifestations of advanced gastric cancer.

2. For cancer, the most important typical symptom is irregular pain. The typical symptoms of gastric cancer are nausea, vomiting, irregular pain, and a long pain duration. The pain does not ease after taking medication. However, to confirm gastric cancer, gastroscopy and pathological biopsy are needed to confirm whether it is cancer.

3. Early symptoms of gastric cancer include loss of appetite, belching and acid reflux, which can be detected through endoscopic biopsy.

What items should be reviewed after gastric cancer surgery?

Gastric cancer is a malignant tumor of the stomach. Regular follow-up examinations are required after surgery as there is a possibility of recurrence. The follow-up examinations generally use CT or MRI to understand the status of gastric surgery and the status of the perigastric lymph nodes. It is also necessary to pay attention to regular gastroscopy to understand the status of the anastomosis. The follow-up items after gastric cancer surgery include blood routine, chest X-ray, colonoscopy and imaging examinations.

Postoperative follow-up for gastric cancer is divided into several stages, and follow-up is conducted every three months within two years after surgery.
