Is the recurrence rate high after mid-term gastric cancer surgery?

1. Patients with mid-stage gastric cancer usually need radical surgery, which can remove part or all of the stomach, including the cancer lesions and possible infiltration of the stomach wall. In addition, the lymph nodes around the stomach can be cleared after the operation. Patients with mid-stage gastric cancer can also receive adjuvant chemotherapy after surgery. The purpose of adjuvant chemotherapy is to reduce the recurrence of patients after mid-stage gastric cancer surgery and improve the cure rate. Usually, radical surgery is performed and then chemotherapy is performed. The recurrence rate of patients after mid-stage gastric cancer surgery will decrease, which may reach about 30 to 40 percent.

2. The five-year recurrence rate should be 80%, which is still very high. Active treatment is necessary to control the development and recurrence of the tumor for mid-term gastric cancer after excluding relevant contraindications based on the patient's physical condition.

Is burping whether eating or not a meal a sign of stomach cancer?

In the early stages of gastric cancer, the patient's clinical symptoms are generally atypical, and may not be accompanied by other obvious discomforts, but only a feeling of fullness in the upper abdomen after eating, or burping after eating, which is a symptom of indigestion, or manifests as nausea, vomiting, poor appetite, indigestion, upper abdominal discomfort, etc. It is not easy to distinguish early gastric cancer from simple indigestion through clinical manifestations.

This situation is considered to be spleen and stomach disharmony. For example, loss of appetite, fatigue, vomiting, nausea, weight loss, anemia, and even upper abdominal mass appear. At this time, the patient is often in the late stage of gastric cancer.
