How to treat gastric cancer involving the heart gate and how to provide care before and after surgery?

Gastric cancer involving the cardia can be treated with radiotherapy, chemotherapy, targeted therapy, and other methods. Pre- and postoperative care can be provided by improving diet, adjusting mood, and managing activities. Details are as follows:

1. Treatment:

1. Radiotherapy: Gastric cancer is a malignant tumor, and its causes are related to Helicobacter pylori infection, poor diet, excessive smoking, drinking, etc. If it involves the heart part, you can choose radiotherapy according to the doctor's advice, and use high-energy beams to directly kill cancer cells to control the development of the disease.

2. Chemotherapy: Patients also need to cooperate with chemotherapy under the guidance of doctors, which can also inhibit the growth of cancer cells. Commonly used drugs include cisplatin injection, carboplatin injection, doxorubicin hydrochloride injection, etc.

3. Targeted therapy: Targeted therapy can also kill cancer cells with less damage to normal tissue cells. Commonly used drugs include trastuzumab, ramucirumab injection, apatinib mesylate tablets, etc.

2. Nursing:

1. Improve diet: Patients need to improve their diet in time before and after surgery. Do not eat spicy foods such as chili peppers, ginger, mustard, etc., and do not overeat.

2. Adjust your mood: Adjust your mood in time, don’t be overly nervous or anxious, relieve stress appropriately, and communicate more with your family and doctors.

3. Activity management: Pay attention to rest in daily life and avoid overwork. After surgery, follow the doctor's advice and get out of bed as soon as possible.

In addition to the above treatment and care, surgical treatments such as endoscopic mucosal resection and tumor radical resection can also be performed, and care methods such as keeping the wound clean can also be chosen. Patients also need to go to the hospital for regular checkups to observe disease control.
