How to check peritoneal metastasis of gastric cancer? Check these items

Metastasis of gastric cancer to the peritoneum is a late-stage manifestation and can be controlled by intraperitoneal hyperthermic perfusion chemotherapy and oral chemotherapy drugs. Diagnosis is difficult due to the formation of ascites. The diagnostic methods include: abdominal puncture: pathological examination reveals detached cancer cells or atypical cells; symptoms: abdominal pain, intestinal obstruction, abdominal mass, nausea, vomiting, difficulty eating, etc.; peritoneal MRI: can clearly show the muscle layer; PET-CT: shows high metabolism.

When gastric cancer develops to a certain extent, distant metastasis is common. One of the more special forms of metastasis is implantation metastasis. Implantation metastasis of gastric cancer refers to the formation of implantation metastatic cancer foci when gastric cancer cells fall off to the abdominal cavity or in the peritoneum or in the serosa of the abdominal organs below the stomach. Common sites of metastasis are the peritoneum, ovaries, and pelvic cavity. So, how should peritoneal metastasis of gastric cancer be checked?
Gastroscopy is a very good examination method for patients. It has relatively high accuracy and is very accurate for patients. Therefore, cancer patients should undergo routine gastroscopy and biopsy. If you feel uncomfortable now, it is recommended that you go to the hospital for a check-up. After the diagnosis is confirmed, effective treatment should be carried out. In daily life, you should pay more attention to your emotional problems.
After peritoneal metastasis of gastric cancer, ascites is the most common early clinical symptom of peritoneal metastasis. The volume of ascites is usually small, which is different from the severe abdominal distension caused by excessive ascites in patients with cirrhosis, tuberculous peritonitis, and kidney disease. However, if accompanied by portal vein metastasis or liver metastasis and liver failure, it may also manifest as a large amount of ascites. Physical examination may reveal sluggish movement.
The treatment of peritoneal metastasis of gastric cancer is mainly based on Chinese medicine, because in the case of peritoneal metastasis, surgery and chemotherapy can no longer inhibit the growth of cancer cells. At this time, the replication rate of cancer cells is very fast, so it is best for patients to take Chinese medicine in time to regulate their bodies. Chinese medicine treatment can play a combination of soft and hard Chinese medicine effects, and can achieve the effect of treating both the symptoms and the root causes. It is the best way to treat advanced gastric cancer.
For patients, the symptoms of advanced gastric cancer are very serious and terrifying. Patients usually feel strong pain, often feel abdominal discomfort and fullness, and also experience gastrointestinal bleeding, vomiting blood and vomiting blood, and black stools. In the late stage, patients are extremely emaciated, with unexplained low-grade fever and chills, and severe anemia.
