What does terminal gastric cancer mean?

End-stage gastric cancer refers to a state in which gastric cancer has developed to an advanced stage, the condition is serious, and the hope of cure is relatively low.

When gastric cancer progresses to the terminal stage, it means that the condition is very serious for the patient. However, if you can maintain a positive attitude and actively cooperate with the doctor's treatment, you can improve your quality of life and prolong your survival.

The cause of gastric cancer is still unclear. It may be related to Helicobacter pylori infection or excessive smoking and drinking. There may be no obvious clinical symptoms in the early stages. It is usually discovered accidentally during a physical examination and is easily overlooked. When symptoms appear, the disease may have progressed to the late stage. Late-stage patients may experience symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, black stools, anemia, fatigue, and weight loss.

While receiving medical treatment, you should also pay attention to strengthening your nutrition, such as consuming more protein-rich foods such as fish and chicken. You should also maintain a good mood and avoid excessive stress. At the same time, you should also ensure adequate rest and avoid overwork.
