The stomach is the front part of the digestive system. The esophagus does not close and the part before the small intestine starts where the food we eat is stored, which is called the stomach.
Currently, the incidence of gastric cancer is increasing. Although cancer is thought to affect older people, it is also common for young people to develop gastric cancer. We have been diagnosed with cancer since we were 25 years old.
Reason:
There is no telling what causes gastric cancer. Gastric or peptic ulcer: It is one of the most common causes of gastric cancer.
Another reason is that smoking, burning, burning, starchy foods, pickles (pickle food) can cause stomach cancer. Hereditary causes also cause stomach cancer. If a family member has had stomach cancer, they are more likely to get it, which can happen at an early age.
Symptoms:
Symptoms do not appear in the early stages of the stomach. Most patients have a burning sensation in the upper abdomen, such as a gastric ulcer. Which seems to be cured by taking medicine. However, even if you take medicine, you will not recover later. As the disease progresses, symptoms such as vomiting, loss of appetite, and loss of appetite appear.
Cancer at an early age:
The longer a person lives, the more likely it is that the disease will spread. However, the disease is also seen in some young people. Late diagnosis of the disease occurs at an early age. Another disease is invasive. Treatment seems to be of no use.
Prevention:
There is little to prevent gastric cancer. However, to avoid gastric cancer, treatment should be given immediately if any suspicious symptoms are seen. Cigarettes, acidic substances, starchy, fried foods should not be eaten. Hereditary cancer cannot be prevented. There are many things that can be done to prevent stomach cancer.
Treatment process:
Endoscopy is done to see if the stomach is affected. If it is found to be cancerous, small flesh should be removed and biopsy should be done to confirm it. After that, CT scan is done, from which it is known whether the condition is treated according to the stage or not. After confirming that it is completely cancerous, the treatment process is started accordingly.
Gastric or peptic ulcer: It is the only cancer that can cure gastric ulcer most effectively. Such a patient can only be eased for a while, but cannot be eradicated. Stages one to three can be easily treated.
Main treatment operation:
The main treatment for gastric cancer is surgery. The operation is performed by removing the problem part in the stomach and attaching it to another place. Even after the operation, chemotherapy has to be continued. As the size of the stomach decreases after the operation, it may be difficult to eat. The patient may not be able to eat much at once. The food we eat once reaches the patient who has undergone gastric surgery two / three times.
Even after the operation, after careful operation, my disease should not be completely cured. According to the doctor's advice, the patient should be careful about what should be seen in the hospital.
The patient should be seen every three months for the first two years after the operation. At that time, the patient is examined by ultrasound, blood test and endoscopy, CT scan every year. From two to five years, the patient is tested every 6 months and after five years, the patient is tested every year.
