Can patients with gastric cancer prepare for pregnancy?

The incidence of gastric cancer is now higher, and now gastric cancer affects everyone regardless of age and gender, and the scope of the disease is also wider. Young women in particular will suffer more after getting gastric cancer because they have to face the fact of pregnancy. So, is it okay for gastric cancer patients to prepare for pregnancy? Let's take a look at this issue through the following article.

Cancer is generally another name for tumors. Patients with cancer are strictly prohibited from getting pregnant. If patients with reproductive system or breast tumors have no impact on their health and are able to conceive and bear children, they can consider getting pregnant. However, it is generally better not to get pregnant to avoid disrupting the balance of the endocrine system in the body and disturbing the patient's health.

So can patients with gastric cancer have children? Generally speaking, patients with gastric cancer should not get pregnant before they are cured. Pregnancy will affect the nutrition and physical strength of the patient. If the patient still needs intermittent maintenance treatment, the drugs are mostly cytotoxic drugs that are toxic to the fetus, which will cause fetal malformation, miscarriage, and premature birth. If you are already pregnant, you should try to terminate the pregnancy as soon as possible. Clinical data have shown that pregnancy can promote the recurrence and metastasis of gastric cancer, and also bring many difficulties to treatment, affecting the efficacy.

If stomach cancer is discovered during pregnancy, the pregnancy should be terminated quickly to protect the pregnant woman and the stomach cancer should be treated early. If delivery is imminent, induced labor or caesarean section can be performed, and then the stomach cancer can be treated.

To sum up, women with gastric cancer cannot become pregnant, because gastric cancer itself is a very serious disease. Not only do pregnant women have low resistance, but it is also easy for gastric cancer to worsen and become more serious, posing a serious threat to women's life safety. Therefore, the treatment of gastric cancer should be the main focus.
