Recurrence rate of gastric cancer after resection

The recurrence rate of gastric cancer is still relatively high. If patients with gastric cancer undergo surgical resection in the early stage of gastric cancer, and if they are treated actively and taken care of properly after surgery, the recurrence rate will be relatively small, about 20%-30%. If the patient’s condition is more serious and the surgical resection is performed in the middle or late stage, the recurrence rate is relatively high, reaching 50%-60% or even higher. Whether recurrence occurs after surgery depends on the patient’s own condition and treatment, and also takes into account the patient’s age, physical condition, lifestyle habits, psychological quality and other factors. Regardless of the stage of surgical excision, patients should actively cooperate with the subsequent treatment, have regular follow-up examinations, pay more attention to their living habits, and maintain a good mood in order to reduce the recurrence rate.
