How to deal with advanced gastric cancer that has spread

For patients with advanced gastric cancer, treatment is determined by the degree of spread, the extent of infiltration, and the patient’s own physical factors.

The incidence and mortality rate of gastric cancer in China is high among malignant tumors, seriously threatening the lives of patients. The early symptoms of gastric cancer are not very obvious, a few patients will be accompanied by varying degrees of stomach pain, but it is often easy to be ignored, so most patients are already at an advanced stage and have metastases when they are found to have gastric cancer, which is relatively difficult to treat. In the early stages of limited gastric cancer, part of it can be treated surgically, and after surgery with radiotherapy, patients tend to have a longer survival.

But for patients with advanced gastric cancer once systemic spread occurs, the patient’s survival rate is very short. At this point, surgery is no longer curative. In addition, patients with advanced gastric cancer are usually in poor health and cannot tolerate surgery. Local or systemic radiotherapy can be considered, but patients with advanced gastric cancer are often not very ideal for radiotherapy treatment. The company’s main goal is to provide the best possible service to its customers.
