How much does it cost to cure stomach cancer

How much does gastric cancer surgery cost? This is the inner conflict of many gastric cancer patients when faced with the question of whether to undergo gastric cancer surgery. People all hope to have a healthy body, but the pressure of life, social reality, and economic difficulties often make patients feel helpless when facing treatment. They worry about the unknown cost and feel helpless about the high cost. In order to let everyone have an understanding and subjective estimate of the cost of gastric cancer surgery, the following analyzes how much gastric cancer surgery actually costs.

The cost of gastric cancer surgery is determined by many factors. The determining factors include the specific condition of the gastric cancer patient, physical fitness and the treatment plan chosen accordingly. The treatment plan plays a greater role in affecting the cost of gastric cancer surgery. For patients, if surgery is possible, most of them choose surgery. So what are the types of surgery?

1. Palliative resection surgery: This method is mainly used for some rapidly developing advanced gastric cancers. The tumors are relatively large and have metastasized. They are difficult to remove completely. Only the primary lesions can be removed to prolong the patient's life.

2. Short-circuit surgery: This method is mainly for patients who cannot undergo surgical resection. Gastrojejunostomy is performed to relieve obstruction and the cost is relatively low.

3. Radical surgery: This method has a lower cost for removing malignant tumors, but the cost is also relatively high.

4. Endoscopic resection: This surgical treatment method is mainly suitable for early gastric cancer. The surgical trauma is relatively small, the recovery is relatively fast, and the cost of the surgery is relatively low. However, the early symptoms of gastric cancer are not obvious. By the time the patient is diagnosed, it is usually in the late stage and is not suitable for this treatment method.

The cost of surgery varies according to the regulations of different hospitals. In addition, the cost of chemotherapy should be considered. The cost of a course of chemotherapy can range from several thousand to tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands, depending on the medication used. This depends on the patient's choice of medication and their own financial situation. If the condition is relatively good, such as early gastric cancer, then the cost of treatment will not be that high, because early gastric cancer is relatively easy to treat and the medications needed are not that expensive.

In addition, the cost of gastric cancer surgery is also related to the doctor's medication. The main reason affecting the rational use of clinical nutrition medication is not the level of medical technology, but more factors other than the level of medical technology. To promote the healthy development of nutritional therapy, it is far from enough to rely solely on the education and training of clinical technology. How to formulate economic incentives and medical insurance payment and reimbursement policies that are in line with the actual situation of nutritional therapy, as well as the implementation of regulatory measures for clinical nutritional therapy, is crucial to realizing the true meaning of clinical nutritional therapy.
