Is the recurrence rate of gastric cancer in the middle and late stages high?

The recurrence rate of advanced gastric cancer after surgery is relatively high. Because advanced gastric cancer has different degrees of invasion and metastasis, simple surgery cannot remove the focus completely, so it is easy to relapse after surgery. Adjuvant treatment is usually needed after surgery, such as chemotherapy, radiation therapy, biological targeted therapy, etc., which can reduce the recurrence rate, prolong the survival period of patients and improve the quality of life. Regular follow-up should be performed after surgery. If recurrence occurs, timely treatment is required. Usually need to develop good living habits, diet to strengthen nutrition.
