How much does chemotherapy for gastric cancer cost?

Gastric cancer is a very common malignant tumor in the digestive system. In China, the incidence rate is relatively high in both rural and urban areas, ranking first in many places. Gastric cancer generally requires comprehensive treatment, including surgery, chemotherapy, and targeted drugs, some of which can also be combined. If it is a combined plan, for example, adding oxaliplatin CPT-1 plus paclitaxel drugs to Gio, relative chemotherapy, including some antiemetic drugs, bone marrow suppression, white medicine, and anemia after chemotherapy, may be around 10,000. The specific cost of chemotherapy for gastric cancer may vary depending on the patient's disease, hospital charging standards, chemotherapy regimens, and drugs, and the cost is also different.

Early gastric cancer survival rate

Early gastric cancer generally refers to tumors confined to the mucosa and submucosa, regardless of whether there is lymph node metastasis. We call it early gastric cancer, so its treatment is mainly radical surgery. After surgery, adjuvant radiotherapy and chemotherapy are determined based on the specific pathology and whether there are some high-risk factors. Therefore, the five-year survival rate of early gastric cancer is relatively high, that is, the five-year survival rate after surgery can generally reach more than 80%, so the prognosis is relatively good. Early gastric cancer refers to cancer tissue penetration limited to the mucosa and submucosa, regardless of the size of the cancer tissue or lymph node metastasis. The five-year survival rate of early gastric cancer is very high, reaching more than 90%, and basically clinical cure can be achieved after surgery.

How many days of chemotherapy for gastric cancer

The length of a course of chemotherapy for gastric cancer depends on the nature of the chemotherapy, the type of drug, and the patient's physical response. For example, a course of new adjuvant chemotherapy ECF is usually about 3 days. Taxane, oxaliplatin, irinotecan and other intravenous drugs are mainly concentrated on the first day. There are also different methods of intravenous chemotherapy. Some drugs can be injected within one day, and then observed to understand the toxic side effects caused by chemotherapy, about 2 weeks or 3 weeks.
