How long can gastric cancer last?

The survival time of patients with early symptoms of gastric cancer varies from person to person and is affected by many factors, such as timeliness and effectiveness of treatment, characteristics of tumor, overall health status of patients, postoperative care and rehabilitation, etc. 1. Timely and effective treatment If early detection and timely standardized and appropriate treatment, including surgical resection, chemotherapy, etc., patients often get a better prognosis, survival time may be longer, and even there is a possibility of cure. However, if treatment is delayed or treatment is improper, the disease may progress rapidly and affect survival. 2. Characteristics of tumor The differentiation degree and pathological type of tumor will also affect survival. The tumor with better differentiation degree and lower malignant degree has a better prognosis. 3. The overall health status of the patient The patient's own physical condition, such as whether there are other serious underlying diseases, will affect the tolerance and recovery ability to treatment, and then affect the survival time. Patients with better physical fitness may be more able to withstand the side effects of treatment and are more conducive to rehabilitation. 4. Postoperative care and rehabilitation include adjustment of diet and living habits, regular follow-up, etc. Good postoperative care and rehabilitation measures help prevent recurrence and complications and prolong survival time. In short, the survival time of patients with early gastric cancer is not fixed, and many factors need to be considered comprehensively. Patients should maintain a positive attitude and cooperate with doctors for treatment and rehabilitation to strive for better quality of life and survival time. At the same time, for gastric cancer, early detection and early treatment are crucial. Regular physical examination and attention to abnormal body signals are very critical.
