What kind of medicine do I take for stomach cancer? How to eat and drink?

  In recent years, the number of people suffering from stomach cancer has been increasing, which brings great harm and disturbance to people’s life. Many friends do not know what are the early treatment drugs for stomach cancer? What should be taken when treating gastric cancer?  1. For those who have undergone resection of R2 (with visible residual tumor), they are basically treated according to the concept of palliative care, and under the premise of disease control, the “hit-and-miss” mode of colorectal cancer treatment is considered. However, some of those with R1 (microscopic residual tumor at the cut edge) resection are expected to be cured, and radiotherapy can be considered, but attention should be paid to avoid excessive chemotherapy.  2. Duration of adjuvant chemotherapy Currently, the duration of adjuvant therapy after gastric cancer surgery still needs to be confirmed by large clinical studies. The ongoing CLASSIC study [comparing XELOX (capecitabine + oxaliplatin) regimen adjuvant chemotherapy with surgery alone for operable gastric cancer study] has ended the enrollment, while the Korean ARTIST study (comparing XP with XP → capecitabine + radiotherapy for 5 weeks → XP for post-D2 resection gastric cancer) has also obtained safety results. For our country, which still has no relevant research data, the future task for all scholars is still very difficult.  3. In international clinical studies, cisplatin 80mg/m2 or 100mg/m2 is mostly administered as a single dose instead of 20mg/m2 or 25mg/m2 for 3 days as we used to do before. Moreover, clinical practice has shown that the efficacy and side effect control of the former are better as long as the drug is given with appropriate antiemetic treatment. Therefore, single high dose of cisplatin is preferred at present.  What patients should eat when treating gastric cancer 1. During chemotherapy, the mucous membrane of gastrointestinal tract will be damaged, so there will be nausea, vomiting, epigastric pain, poor nausea and other phenomena. At this time, patients can eat appetizing foods, such as hawthorn, lentil, yam, white radish, mushroom, etc. At the same time, they should eat less and more meals to avoid feeling full. Eating should be chewed and swallowed slowly, and do not lie flat for 1 hour after the meal, you can spread.  2, patients in the process of chemotherapy, the use of some chemotherapy drugs can cause liver damage, there is an increase in transaminases. At this time, patients should eat more mushroom food, such as bitter melon, mung bean sprouts, tea, shiitake mushrooms, fungus, monkey mushrooms, etc., eat more vitamin-rich fruits, such as kiwi, peach, apple, grapes, etc., drink more green tea, oolong tea, honey water.  3. During chemotherapy, patients must eat more foods that can increase appetite and are rich in nutrition, such as scrambled eggs with mushrooms, hawthorn, lean meat, dried beef, turtle, turtle, milk, red dates, shiitake mushrooms, straw mushrooms and fresh vegetables and fruits.  Warm tip: The above has introduced the drugs that need to be taken in the early stage of stomach cancer and related contents. I hope that stomach cancer patients will actively carry out treatment in this period, which is the best time to treat stomach cancer.
