What to do if gastric cancer metastasizes to the brain? What are the symptoms of brain metastasis

The stomach is an important digestive organ of the human body. If you do not pay attention to your diet and do not protect your stomach, your resistance will be reduced and it will cause many diseases. Even after suffering from gastric cancer, if you experience symptoms such as numbness, weakness, and limitation, it is very likely that gastric cancer has metastasized to the brain. If it is confirmed to be brain metastasis, you can choose to use dehydration drugs assisted by radiotherapy to prolong survival.

People's quality of life has improved, but the body's immunity has declined a lot. Many people have cancer, and gastric cancer has become the most common disease. Once the disease metastasizes, the situation is not optimistic and it is likely to seriously threaten life safety. What should I do if gastric cancer metastasizes to the brain?
Brain metastasis after gastric cancer mostly occurs in the late stage of gastric cancer. Most chemotherapy drugs cannot pass through the blood-brain barrier, so patients with brain metastasis of gastric cancer are not very sensitive to radiotherapy, so it is not the first choice of treatment in medicine. With the continuous development of radiotherapy technology in society, most patients will use dehydration drugs while assisting with radiotherapy, which can significantly prolong the life span and improve the quality of life. Therefore, radiotherapy is now a major way to treat brain metastasis of gastric cancer.
There are three main symptoms of brain metastasis from gastric cancer. One is called supratentorial metastasis, and a large proportion of patients have symptoms of numbness and weakness, while this symptom is called infratentorial metastasis, and the main manifestations are ataxia and other manifestations. The location of metastatic tumors that people often talk about generally appears in the sellar region. Brain metastasis from gastric cancer is a common cancer phenomenon. When suffering from this disease, headaches will occur in severe cases, and most of them occur in the morning. After getting up, the symptoms of this headache will be relieved and may disappear. After the brain tissue is damaged, gastric cancer cells will metastasize to the brain, and the brain will be compressed, causing brain damage. If it is mild, it is dementia, which is generally caused by paralysis. In severe cases, it will endanger life, and the prognosis is often relatively poor.
After the intracranial pressure increases, the main symptoms are severe headaches, accompanied by vomiting and decreased vision. These phenomena are due to the rapid growth of the tumor and the surrounding edema, which significantly increases the intracranial pressure. Symptoms of visual impairment: Gastric cancer brain metastasis can cause poor blood flow in the eye veins, damage the visual cells on the retina, and cause visual impairment. Unilateral limb paresthesia or weakness: Gastric cancer metastasis to the middle parietal lobe of the cerebral hemisphere often leads to unilateral limb pain, temperature, vibration, or human body recognition or decline.
