How to treat brain metastasis from advanced gastric cancer

How to treat advanced gastric cancer brain metastasis?

1. If a patient with advanced gastric cancer has brain metastasis, and the brain metastasis lesions can be surgically removed, then the first surgical resection is performed, followed by postoperative radiotherapy. However, if the patient with advanced gastric cancer has brain metastasis lesions that cannot be surgically removed, then the necessary radiotherapy at this time is very helpful to the patient, which can alleviate symptoms, improve the quality of life, and prolong the patient's survival time. However, once advanced gastric cancer metastasizes to the brain, the patient should be prepared accordingly.

2. Gastric cancer is a common malignant tumor in the digestive system. The possibility of brain metastasis is generally very small, but if there is brain metastasis, it is generally difficult to survive for more than three months if it is not treated.

3. Difficulty in eating after lung cancer surgery cannot be ruled out. It is more likely that the food intake is too small after gastrectomy. It is also necessary to rule out the possibility that it is caused by gastrointestinal motility due to long-term bed rest. You can follow the doctor's advice to add some drugs to increase gastrointestinal motility, and even give priority to light and easily digestible foods. It is recommended to eat small meals and check regularly.

4. If you have difficulty swallowing after gastric cancer surgery, it may be a sequelae of postoperative chemotherapy. Without the auxiliary digestive function of the stomach, it is basically recommended to eat liquid and semi-liquid food.
