What is interventional treatment for gastric cancer? It is a therapy

Gastric cancer is a common and relatively dangerous disease. The interventional treatment of this disease is to reach the lesion through the nutrient artery of gastric cancer, infuse chemotherapy drugs, and block the nutrient vessels at the same time. There is also endoscopic interventional treatment. For example, for anastomotic stenosis after gastric cancer surgery, the anastomotic stoma can be enlarged under endoscopy to ensure the patient's nutritional supply. More than half of gastric cancers occur in the lesser curvature and anterior and posterior walls of the gastric antrum, followed by the cardia.

Since the stomach is a hollow organ, its anatomical and physiological characteristics are different from those of solid organs such as the liver and pancreas. The chances of surgical resection are significantly higher than for diseases such as liver cancer. However, the effect of surgery is closely related to the early or late diagnosis, pathological morphology, and surgical plan. In the middle and late stages of gastric cancer, metastasis to the liver, abdominal cavity, left supraclavicular lymph nodes, etc. may occur, which seriously affects the patient's quality of life. So what is interventional treatment for gastric cancer?
For patients with gastric cancer, interventional treatment is the first step to choose a department that performs interventional diagnosis and treatment. Surgical treatment mainly relies on surgery, while internal medicine treatment mainly relies on medication. Interventional treatment is not like a completely open, exposed surgery, nor is it a method of treatment that relies on medication. It is between the two treatment methods, so it is called interventional treatment. This treatment is mainly an ultra-minimally invasive treatment.
Interventional treatment of gastric cancer uses the monitoring technology of modern imaging equipment (DSA) to expand the doctor's field of vision and extend the doctor's hands with the help of catheters and guide wires. Its incision (puncture point) is only the size of a grain of rice, and there is no need to cut into human tissue. It can treat many diseases that were previously untreatable and required surgical treatment or poor medical treatment, such as tumors, hemangiomas, various bleedings, etc.
With the development of modern medicine, the treatment of gastric cancer is constantly being updated and improved. At present, comprehensive treatment is mainly based on surgery, especially in early gastric cancer. However, the surgery requirements for this disease are very strict, the complications after surgery are complicated, and the adverse reactions after chemotherapy are difficult to control, which poses new challenges to the treatment of patients in the middle and late stages, which account for the vast majority of clinical patients.
For patients with gastric cancer, when the disease develops to the middle and late stages, the patient's physical condition is relatively poor, accompanied by more lesions and serious complications, making clinical treatment more difficult. In recent years, the continuous advancement and promotion of interventional treatment technology, with its advantages of less trauma, fewer side effects, and a wide range of applications, has provided clinicians with new treatment methods, allowing many patients in the middle and late stages to receive better treatment.
Interventional therapy can achieve significant results in lung cancer, liver cancer, liver metastasis, gastric cancer, esophageal cancer, kidney cancer, pancreatic and duodenal tumors, cervical cancer, bladder cancer, gynecological tumors, limb tumors, etc. For mid- and late-stage tumors, it can reduce the stage and size of the tumor, and allow patients to live with the tumor for a long time. Some patients who cannot undergo surgical resection may even have the opportunity to undergo radical surgery again.
