What to do if you get stomach cancer at the age of 19

What should I do if I get stomach cancer at the age of 19?

Generally, gastric cancer at the age of 19 can be alleviated through surgery, radiotherapy, chemotherapy, and interventional treatment.

1. Surgical treatment: Gastric cancer is mainly a malignant tumor that occurs in the gastric mucosal epithelium. If it is early-stage gastric cancer, cancer cells generally do not spread or metastasize. It is recommended to go to a regular medical institution and cooperate with professionals to remove the lesion through surgery.

2. Radiotherapy and chemotherapy: If there is mild infiltration in mid-term gastric cancer, you need to go to the hospital for radiotherapy and chemotherapy after surgical removal of the lesion to prevent the spread or metastasis of cancer cells.

3. Interventional therapy: If it is advanced gastric cancer and the cancer cells have already metastasized or spread, interventional therapy is required. Interventional therapy mainly prolongs life by injecting chemotherapy drugs through a catheter in the nutrient artery.

In addition to the above treatments, targeted therapy, radiotherapy, and radiofrequency therapy can also be used, but the specific treatment method needs to be determined according to the severity of the disease and physical fitness. During this period, we must pay attention to relaxation and not have too much mental stress or excessive tension, so as not to affect the treatment effect.
