What does cardiac cancer mean?

Gastric cancer is a common malignant tumor in the digestive system. According to the location of the tumor, gastric cancer can be divided into cardiac cancer, pyloric cancer, gastric body cancer, etc. Cardiac cancer refers to cancer occurring at the entrance of the stomach. Early cardiac cancer symptoms are atypical. As the tumor grows, progressive dysphagia can be manifested. Progressive dysphagia is especially obvious in the early stage when eating a solid diet. As the disease progresses, it will also show dysphagia when eating a liquid diet. Cardiac cancer patients can show the clinical manifestations of metastasis if they show metastasis, such as tenderness, pain and appetite loss in liver area when metastasis to liver, pain in bone metastasis when metastasis to bone, headache, ejection vomiting and optic papilledema when metastasis to brain, etc. For early cardiac cancer, surgery is the main treatment, while for advanced cardiac cancer patients, chemotherapy, targeted therapy and radiotherapy are the main comprehensive treatment.
