Gastric cancer is a malignant disease that seriously threatens the health of patients in daily life. In recent years, the incidence of gastric cancer has been showing an increasing trend. For gastric cancer patients, timely detection of symptoms and selection of effective treatment methods are crucial for early recovery. So, what are the main treatments for gastric cancer?
Surgical treatment of gastric cancer: Surgical resection is still the most commonly used treatment method for gastric cancer and is the traditional treatment method for gastric cancer. Experts from our hospital pointed out that according to the different stages of gastric cancer, gastric cancer surgery can be divided into radical surgery and palliative surgery. Radical resection should be strived for during treatment. Of course, surgery has its own limitations, especially in the late stage of gastric cancer, surgery cannot cure gastric cancer at all.
Radical chemotherapy, which belongs to the classification of conventional chemotherapy, is suitable for patients with advanced gastric cancer after surgery, or patients who are not suitable for surgical treatment. In this case, chemical drugs can be used to prolong life, that is, chemotherapy treatment helps patients improve their quality of life. We should also pay attention to the use of anticancer drugs during the treatment process to better treat patients.
Adjuvant chemotherapy is a major method of treating gastric cancer. It is mainly used for patients after tumor surgery or radiotherapy. This method can control residual tumor lesions and eliminate micro-cancer lesions. Its main function is to delay or control tumor recurrence and metastasis. Adjuvant chemotherapy is an important part of radical chemotherapy and a continuation of radical chemotherapy. This method is the most widely used clinically and can be applied before, during and after surgery.
Neoadjuvant chemotherapy is a method of chemotherapy before surgery, which is carried out through special routes to shrink the lesion, reduce the clinical stage, and increase the chance of radical resection. The advantage of this method is that it can concentrate the drug power on the tumor site, while having little side effects on the whole body. Patients should find the main cause of their disease and make sure the treatment is effective.
