Patients with early stage gastric cancer diagnosed early and feasible for radical surgery can have a long survival.
The prognosis of patients with gastric cancer surgery depends mainly on the stage. If the patient is in early stage of gastric cancer, radical surgery can be performed. If there is no recurrence, clinical cure can be achieved and there is a long survival period. It is also possible to use chemotherapy drugs before surgery, which can reduce the size of the tumor before surgical resection, which can increase the chances of radical surgery.
Patients with progressive gastric cancer, if no distant metastases are found, should undergo radical resection if possible. Radical surgery can also be followed by chemotherapy drugs to reduce the chances of recurrence and increase the cure rate.
Most patients with gastric cancer do not have any clinical symptoms in the early stage, and a few patients will have indigestion symptoms, so it is difficult to diagnose early, and they are already in the middle and late stage when symptoms appear and are diagnosed. The 5-year survival rate is about 7%-34%.
