What are the dietary taboos during the active stage of gastric cancer

Diet is very important for gastric cancer. The stomach is the main digestive organ of the human body. Food generally reaches the stomach first, and then is digested and absorbed to provide nutrition for the body. It is precisely because of this direct relationship between the stomach and diet that, compared with other cancers, the dietary requirements for gastric cancer are higher, and there are more dietary precautions for gastric cancer. The family members of patients should pay attention to the diet of gastric cancer. A scientific diet for gastric cancer has far-reaching significance for prognosis.
