What to do if you have stomach cancer? There are three treatments

Gastric cancer will have a great impact on the patient's body and life, so timely and reasonable treatment is very important. The treatment method for early gastric cancer is mostly surgical resection. If gastric cancer has already metastasized to some lymph nodes, it is necessary to combine radiotherapy and chemotherapy after surgical resection. In addition, it can also be combined with traditional Chinese medicine to promote health.

Gastric cancer is a highly prevalent disease in today's society. The stomach is the main digestive organ of the human body. Due to the particularity of the lesion site, gastric cancer patients will suffer great harm. For example, the main functions of eating and digestion will be greatly inconvenient. Now the methods of treating gastric cancer are also different. Let's take a look at what to do if you have gastric cancer?
1. Surgical resection <br/>Surgical resection is generally required for the treatment of early gastric cancer, because the tumor is still relatively small at this time, and there is still hope of cure after surgical resection. Before surgical treatment, the doctor will conduct a systematic examination of the patient to determine whether there is metastatic cancer. At the same time, it is also necessary to determine whether the patient has serious underlying diseases such as heart and lung diseases, and conduct a comprehensive screening to determine whether the patient can undergo surgical resection.
2. Radiotherapy and chemotherapy <br/>If some lymph nodes have metastasized when gastric cancer patients are diagnosed with the disease, then adjuvant chemotherapy and radiotherapy will be needed after surgical resection. Local symptoms can be effectively controlled by radiotherapy and chemotherapy. Radiotherapy and chemotherapy can kill residual tumor cells and effectively delay tumor recurrence, prevent recurrence, and thus prolong the patient's survival.
3. Treatment with Chinese medicine <br/>Due to the large toxic and side effects of radiotherapy and chemotherapy, treatment must be combined with Chinese medicine to reduce the toxic and side effects of radiotherapy and chemotherapy and improve the patient's immune function. In addition, Chinese medicine has a certain therapeutic effect on early gastric cancer after metastasis, and can inhibit the growth of cancer cells and improve the treatment effect. During treatment, attention should be paid to care in all aspects, actively cooperate, and control one's emotions to avoid affecting the treatment.
Early stage gastric cancer can be treated with conservative treatment. The so-called conservative treatment is to apply a variety of Chinese medicines to the cancerous part according to the theory of traditional Chinese medicine to reduce or delay its development. For the treatment of gastric cancer, the effect of traditional Chinese medicine is not as good as that of Western medicine, but it has no toxic side effects, causes little harm to patients, and has a certain effect in improving the patient's immune function and prolonging the patient's life.
