Can late-stage gastric cancer be cured by taking Chinese medicine?

1. Advanced gastric cancer is incurable under the current medical level. Chinese medicine mainly plays a conditioning role. Some Chinese medicine ingredients have certain anti-tumor effects and can be adjusted according to the patient's constitution and tongue coating and pulse.

2. Patients with advanced gastric cancer can be treated with Chinese medicine if they are not suitable for other treatments. The main treatment for patients with advanced gastric cancer is chemotherapy.

How much does total gastrectomy cost?

Often, an incision is made in the patient's upper abdomen to remove all gastric tissue and gastric tumors, which is very traumatic to the patient and has certain risks, so the cost of the operation is relatively high, about 30,000 yuan, including preoperative examinations, operation costs, and some anti-inflammatory drugs. The cost of minimally invasive laparoscopic surgery is more expensive than open surgery, but it should also be determined based on the condition and postoperative recovery.

If most of the stomach is removed, the price will vary depending on the source and manufacturer of the stapler. Generally speaking, severe gastric ulcers, gastric perforations, and gastric cancer require gastrectomy. The cost of surgical resection varies for different diseases. Gastric ulcers and gastric perforations are low-cost, and other treatments are effective after surgical treatment and will not affect life.
