Can gastric cancer with metastasis in the late stage be cured?

Can advanced gastric cancer with metastasis be cured?

1. After gastric cancer is discovered, surgical resection is the first treatment. If the opportunity for surgical treatment is lost, chemotherapy should be chosen. Chemotherapy can kill cancer cells and reduce the symptoms caused by cancer. Pay attention to regular diet, eat small and frequent meals, enhance nutrition, and strengthen the body's resistance.

2. If the patient's liver function is severely damaged and the whole body is obviously exhausted, usually only symptomatic or supportive treatment can be given according to the patient's symptoms to relieve pain and prolong survival time as much as possible.

Targeted drugs for gastric cancer

For example, the efficacy and safety of bevacizumab and cetuximab combined with chemotherapy in the treatment of advanced gastric cancer are under experimental study. Sorafenib and sunitinib have been widely reported, and their therapeutic effects on advanced gastric cancer or gastroesophageal junction cancer are good.

There are five molecular targeted drugs for gastric cancer: drugs targeting epidermal growth factor EgfR, anti-vascular endothelial growth factor VEGF, drugs targeting cMet, PI3k signaling channel inhibitors, and parp inhibitors. VEGFR monoclonal antibody targeted drugs do not require genetic testing before use and can be used directly.
