Six chemotherapy sessions after total gastrectomy for gastric cancer, stage IIIC

Six chemotherapy sessions after radical gastrectomy for stage IIIC

The stage of this situation is relatively late, which means that chemotherapy must be done after surgical resection. Currently, 6 chemotherapy sessions have been completed. Regular check-ups are needed in the later stages. Traditional Chinese medicine mainly plays a role in strengthening the body and does not have a strong anti-tumor therapeutic effect.

Do not drink strong alcohol, do not smoke, eat more fruits and vegetables, and undergo regular gastroscopy or X-ray gastrointestinal examinations.

How many years does it take for gastric cancer to develop?

Gastric cancer is initially caused by gastritis. The evolution process from gastritis to gastric cancer generally depends on individual circumstances. Some people's conditions are more serious, so the development time takes 5 to 7 months.

Gastric cancer is a very serious malignant tumor. There is no specific conclusion or data on how many years it takes for gastric cancer to develop. The doubling time of tumor cells is about 120 days, and it takes about 20-30 doublings for a tumor cell to become a unit, so the time required is about 6-8 years.
