Is cardia cancer the most difficult type of gastric cancer to treat?

Generally speaking, gastric cardia cancer is a more difficult type of gastric cancer to treat.

Cardiac cancer refers to a malignant tumor that occurs between the junction of the esophagus and stomach and the pylorus. Since this part is the narrowest part of the digestive tract, it is easy to have symptoms such as difficulty swallowing and vomiting after the onset of the disease, and it is not easy to be discovered in the early stage. Therefore, once it is diagnosed as cardia cancer, it means that the disease has developed to the late stage. At this time, the possibility of surgical resection is small, and the probability of recurrence after surgery is also relatively high. Therefore, it is one of the more difficult diseases to cure.

If the patient has the above symptoms, he should go to the hospital in time to complete relevant examinations to clearly diagnose the cause, and then treat the symptoms according to the cause. For patients with cardia cancer, radiotherapy can be used to inhibit cell growth and spread, so as to achieve the purpose of controlling the disease. If necessary, it can also be improved by combined use of chemotherapy or targeted drugs, which can effectively kill cancer cells in the body and prolong the recovery period of the disease.

It is recommended to develop good living habits and avoid bad habits such as smoking and drinking to avoid aggravating the disease. At the same time, you should also pay attention to healthy diet, eat more fresh fruits and vegetables such as apples and tomatoes, and eat less spicy and greasy foods such as peppers and fried chicken. If you feel obvious discomfort or abnormality during the period, you need to seek medical treatment in time to avoid delaying the disease.
