Mid-term cure rate of gastric cancer

Generally speaking, the five-year survival rate of patients with mid-stage gastric cancer is about 50%, but their survival time should be considered according to individual circumstances. If surgical treatment is used, factors such as whether the surgery is thorough, surgical complications and sequelae, and personal recovery after surgery should be considered. When gastric cancer has extensive peritoneal and lymph node metastasis, the tumor can be removed. If the patient can tolerate the surgery, palliative gastrectomy can be used. This surgery can relieve the patient's toxic symptoms and eliminate complications such as obstruction, bleeding or perforation caused by the tumor. Gastric cancer is one of the malignant tumors with the highest mortality in my country.

Nursing care for patients with gastric cancer

Gastric cancer patients need psychological care to help them gradually accept the disease, eliminate fear, develop a positive and healthy lifestyle, and participate in sports activities to help them adjust their psychology. If gastric cancer patients can move independently, they need care in terms of diet and psychological adjustment. For patients with advanced gastric cancer, personalized psychological counseling is needed to reduce their psychological pressure by introducing gastric cancer cases.

Does gastric cancer cause black stools?

Gastric cancer patients may also have black stools, so when patients have black stools, they need to go to the gastroenterology department of a regular hospital as soon as possible to complete an electronic gastroscopy examination and take appropriate treatment measures according to different examination results. For example, black stools caused by peptic ulcers require comprehensive treatment such as active acid suppression and protection of the gastric mucosa. It is recommended that patients go to the hospital in time when the stool changes, regardless of the cause of the black stool, and cooperate with the doctor to improve the electronic gastroscopy to help determine whether there is upper gastrointestinal bleeding. If necessary, hospitalization is required to cooperate with the doctor for active treatment. After gastric cancer surgery, black stools are a manifestation of gastrointestinal bleeding, and whether the tumor recurred requires further improvement of related examinations.
