Which is more difficult to treat, lung cancer or stomach cancer

There is no definite answer as to which is more difficult to treat, lung cancer or gastric cancer. Cancer can be divided into early, middle and late stages. The stages of lung cancer and gastric cancer, as well as the physical conditions of the patients are different, so it is difficult to compare the difficulty of treatment.

Lung cancer is a malignant tumor of the respiratory system, which is prone to symptoms such as coughing, expectoration, chest tightness, and chest pain. Lung cancer is relatively easy to treat in the early stages, but most lung cancer patients are already in the middle and late stages when they are discovered, and the 5-year survival rate is relatively low.

Gastric cancer is a common malignant tumor of the digestive tract, which can easily cause digestive discomfort, such as nausea, vomiting, and digestive tract bleeding. The overall prognosis of gastric cancer is relatively poor. In the early stage, traditional surgical treatment can be chosen. When the disease develops to the late stage, the cure rate of surgery is relatively low, and the effects of radiotherapy and chemotherapy are relatively poor.

When treating lung cancer and stomach cancer, if the patient is in good physical condition and actively cooperates with the doctor, the treatment effect is better, but if the patient is older, the treatment effect may be poor. The prognosis of lung cancer and stomach cancer in the middle and late stages is usually poor. Regular physical examinations are required to achieve early detection and early treatment.
