Introduction to the three major treatment methods for early gastric cancer

For this common digestive tract cancer, the treatment of gastric cancer has been delayed due to the lack of obvious early symptoms. If the symptoms of gastric cancer can be detected early, chemotherapy and radiotherapy can be avoided, and the following three methods can be used to treat gastric cancer:

1. Surgical treatment

This is currently the preferred treatment for gastric cancer. Surgical methods mainly include radical therapeutic resection and palliative resection. For advanced gastric cancer combined with pyloric obstruction, shunt surgery can be performed to relieve the obstruction.

2. Immunotherapy

Indications for immunotherapy include: ① Systemic administration of immunostimulants is suitable for early-stage gastric cancer after radical resection; ② Immunostimulants can be directly injected into the residual cancer in cases where the cancer cannot be resected or palliative resection is performed; ③ Advanced patients with ascites are suitable for intraperitoneal injection of immune-enhancing drugs.

(III) Endoscopic treatment

Endoscopic treatment can be used for patients with early gastric cancer who have systemic diseases and are not suitable for surgical resection. In addition, the endoscopic application of laser, microwave and injection of anhydrous alcohol can also achieve the effect of radical cure of gastric cancer.

The above are three common treatment methods that can be very effective in the treatment of early gastric cancer.
