Stomach cancer metastasized to bone indicates that it has already developed to advanced stage, and the survival time is usually about one year, and the five-year survival rate is less than 10%.
The prognosis of gastric cancer is closely related to the stage. Generally, the cure rate of early gastric cancer is relatively high, but most of the gastric cancers are already in the developing stage or have produced distant metastasis when they are found. The prognosis of advanced stage patients is poor. If bone metastasis occurs, the five-year survival rate is less than 10%.
Serious complications such as bleeding, obstruction and gastrointestinal anastomotic fistula are easy to occur in the advanced stage of gastric cancer. Metastasis of gastric cancer is usually dominated by lymph node metastasis, and 70% of progressive gastric cancer is metastasized by lymph nodes. In addition, hematogenous metastasis can also occur, and the most common organ to be metastasized is liver, and bone metastasis can also occur.
The prognosis of advanced gastric cancer is poor. The main purpose of treatment is to alleviate patients’ pain and prolong their survival period. The treatment of advanced gastric cancer should weigh the pros and cons and take reducing patients’ pain as the optimal principle, and should not blindly carry out related surgery, chemotherapy and targeted drug therapy.
It is suggested that patients with advanced gastric cancer metastasized to bone should seek medical treatment as soon as possible, keep a good mindset, and refer to doctor’s advice for scientific and effective treatment, which can prolong the survival period.
