Gastric cancer with peritoneal metastasis is generally considered to be an advanced stage of the disease, with survival time ranging from about 3 to 6 months.
Gastric cancer with peritoneal metastasis has mostly lost the best time for surgery. Depending on the patient’s physical condition, intravenous chemotherapy, oral chemotherapy or intraperitoneal injection drug chemotherapy is chosen to control the development of tumor cells.
When peritoneal metastasis of gastric cancer occurs, patients will mostly have abdominal pain, abdominal distension, wasting, weakness, anemia, and some patients will also develop ascites.
In the late stage of gastric cancer, symptomatic treatment is mainly used to relieve patients’ discomfort and improve their quality of life. When abdominal pain is present, pain relieving drugs can be used appropriately to relieve abdominal pain and reduce pain. When there is abdominal distension and more ascites, the patient can be pumped ascites to release fluid appropriately to relieve the abdominal distension. After the fluid release, you can also inject chemotherapy drugs into the abdominal cavity to reduce the formation of ascites, control the disease and prolong survival time.
It is also important to take proper nutrition to strengthen the resistance. It is important to keep warm and prevent cold infections.
