Patient: Abdominal distension. Poor appetite. 3 months of weight loss. He was diagnosed with adenocarcinoma of the gastric sinus in a tertiary hospital in our province. It was found to be attached to the pancreas during the surgery, and only a dilatation surgery was done, and the patient is now recovering. Is it incurable? Doctor: Hello, family! I don’t know what “dilatation surgery” means. Many gastric cancers are inflammatory adhesions with the pancreas but not cancerous invasion, which can be resected, but sometimes the pancreas can be injured and cause pancreatic leakage. I can’t tell whether it can be removed or not because I haven’t explored the patient.
