What are the symptoms of gastric cancer recurrence after surgery? There are several types

The symptoms of recurrence after gastric cancer surgery are related to the site of cancer metastasis in patients. They are often accompanied by pain in the stomach area and symptoms similar to those of peptic ulcers. Patients may experience fullness, heaviness, anorexia, abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, weight loss, anemia, edema, fever, etc. The chance of recurrence in gastric cancer patients after surgery is also very high, which is closely related to incomplete resection and low immunity.

For patients, surgical treatment is very important. If surgical treatment can be performed in time, the patient's life can be maintained longer. Although surgery is an important means of treating gastric cancer, it cannot guarantee a radical cure of gastric cancer. After surgical treatment, the patient's condition may relapse, which is also what every gastric cancer patient worries about. So let's learn about the symptoms of recurrence after gastric cancer surgery?
In the process of treating gastric cancer, if the surgery is not thorough enough, it will increase the chance of postoperative recurrence. For example, some doctors only pay attention to the recent treatment effect, resulting in a small amount of residual cancer tissue and metastatic lymph nodes in the abdominal cavity that are difficult to detect with the naked eye, which will increase the chance of postoperative recurrence. The symptoms of postoperative recurrence of gastric cancer patients vary from person to person, which has a lot to do with the patient's condition. In general, most patients will experience symptoms of stomach pain after the disease relapses. The pain has nothing to do with eating and is often a gnawing pain.
If gastric cancer patients have a relapse after surgery, it is more common to have a local relapse, which often occurs in the gastric cancer tumor bed or nearby lymph nodes. Some patients will also have a relapse at the anastomosis of gastric cancer surgery or in the residual stomach after surgery. This type of postoperative local recurrence has no obvious symptoms in the early stage, and patients will gradually develop abdominal masses, decreased appetite, nausea, ascites, anemia and other symptoms. When the tumor extends to the pyloric orifice, patients may also experience symptoms such as vomiting and pyloric obstruction.
Low immunity of the patient can also lead to recurrence of gastric cancer after surgery. In order to better prevent recurrence after surgery, it is recommended that patients take some auxiliary treatments in time after surgery. In order to improve the patient's immunity, you can adopt Chinese medicine immunotherapy and take Chinese medicine to improve your immunity, which can also effectively reduce the chance of postoperative recurrence. Patients should also pay attention to their diet, try to eat light food, and avoid greasy food, which can also reduce the chance of recurrence.
