How long can I live if gastric cancer spreads and internal bleeding occurs?

Gastric cancer has bleeding symptoms, which means that the tumor is relatively large and invades local blood vessels, which can cause gastric bleeding. The overall survival period is mainly related to the patient's tumor stage. If surgery is possible, combined with radiotherapy and chemotherapy after surgery, the overall five-year survival rate should be able to reach about 50%. Patients with early gastric cancer may also experience vomiting blood. If the bleeding can be controlled in time, radical surgery for gastric cancer may not affect life expectancy. For patients with gastric cancer, palliative surgery can also be selected in the late stage, including jejunostomy, which can solve the patient's nutrition and food intake problems.

What medicine to take for stomach cancer pain

Oral chemotherapy drugs such as capecitabine or Tegafur, and oral targeted drugs such as apatinib are all drugs for treating gastric cancer, which can control the disease and relieve pain to a certain extent. The pain of gastric cancer may be caused by tumor stimulation, or by symptoms of acid reflux and heartburn. If the pain is moderate to severe, you need to take tramadol sustained-release tablets or opioids such as morphine.

Is radiotherapy necessary after gastric cancer surgery?

The primary tumor was not completely removed, and there are residual tumors visible to the naked eye or under the microscope. Radiotherapy is also required after surgery. The standard primary tumor was completely removed, and the lymph node tumor was also thoroughly cleared. However, after the removal, it was found that the probability of lymph node metastasis was very high. Even if such patients have undergone so-called radical surgery, the probability of local regional recurrence is very high. In this case, patients are also required to undergo radiotherapy after surgery. Therefore, radiotherapy after gastric cancer surgery also has very wide indications. Moreover, patients after gastric cancer surgery must also strengthen regular follow-up and reexamination, so that the patient's condition can be dynamically monitored and the treatment plan can be adjusted in time. If the patient needs radiotherapy, it must be carried out under the guidance of a professional doctor. This is safe and effective. During radiotherapy, attention should also be paid to avoid the side effects of radiotherapy, so that patients can benefit from radiotherapy. The primary tumor is completely removed.
