Advanced gastric cancer cannot be completely cured, but it can effectively relieve clinical symptoms and prolong the patient’s survival.
Advanced gastric cancer is generally incurable, and there is no medical treatment that can completely cure this disease. The discovery of advanced gastric cancer, even with distant metastases, does not necessarily mean that life is in danger anytime soon. So it is still important to actively treat the disease to effectively improve the quality of life and extend the survival period.
There are treatments available even for advanced gastric cancer due to the current improvement of medical level. The treatment plan for advanced gastric cancer is to try to treat patients with surgery if possible, or palliative surgery even if radical surgery is not possible. At the same time, the patient’s survival period can be effectively prolonged with the help of chemotherapy, radiotherapy, targeted drug therapy, immunotherapy and other comprehensive treatment methods. If the patient has intestinal obstruction and cannot eat normally, the patient can also be treated symptomatically with intravenous nutrition to minimize the patient’s pain and prolong the patient’s survival.
