Is mixed type gastric cancer difficult to treat?

For early mixed gastric cancer, it is generally possible to achieve the goal of cure and is not difficult to treat. However, if mixed gastric cancer has developed to the middle or late stage, it is more difficult to treat. It is recommended that patients seek medical treatment in a timely manner and receive targeted treatment under the guidance of a physician. The specific analysis is as follows:

1. Not difficult: Early mixed gastric cancer is usually confined to the stomach, with a small lesion and shallow invasion depth. At this stage, cancer cells have not yet spread to surrounding tissues or distant organs, so the tumor can be removed surgically to achieve the purpose of cure. At the same time, early mixed gastric cancer cells are highly differentiated, relatively less malignant, and grow and spread slowly. This provides doctors with ample time to develop and implement treatment plans, increasing the success rate of treatment.

2. Difficulty: If mixed gastric cancer has developed to the middle or late stages, cancer cells may have spread to the liver, lungs and other parts of the body through the lymphatic and blood systems, making treatment more complicated. In this case, treatment is mainly through chemotherapy, radiotherapy, targeted therapy and immunotherapy, which can control the progression of the disease and relieve symptoms, but the possibility of cure is low.

During the treatment process, patients should maintain a positive attitude, cooperate with the doctor's treatment plan, pay attention to nutritional conditioning and improvement of physical condition, which will help improve the treatment effect.
