2. Gastric cancer is a type of cancer that occurs in the stomach. It usually originates from gastric epithelial cells and is a common malignant tumor in the digestive tract. The cause is still unclear, but it may be caused by genetics, Helicobacter pylori infection, tobacco, alcohol and other factors. Patients with early gastric cancer have no symptoms, or only mild symptoms, such as upper abdominal fullness or pain, loss of appetite, hiccups, acid, nausea, vomiting, etc. In the advanced stage, in addition to the above symptoms, weight loss, anemia, fatigue, and stomach pain often occur. When the tumor invades the blood vessels, it can also cause gastrointestinal bleeding, vomiting blood, and black stools. If it is not treated in time at this stage, it will develop to the late stage, and the patient may experience severe weight loss, anemia, edema, fever, jaundice and cachexia.

3. It is recommended that patients with gastric cancer must receive timely treatment upon discovery. Early active and effective treatment usually has a high cure rate. Endoscopic surgery, laparoscopic surgery, chemotherapy adjuvant treatment, and commonly used chemotherapy drugs include fluorouracil injection, doxorubicin hydrochloride injection, platinum injection, etc. During the treatment process, patients should actively cooperate and maintain a good attitude, which is conducive to achieving better treatment results.
