radical operation for carcinoma of stomach

Radical gastrectomy is an important treatment for gastric cancer.

Radical gastrectomy aims to completely remove the tumor and possibly invaded tissues, including part or all of the stomach and surrounding lymph nodes, so as to eliminate cancer cells as much as possible and improve the cure rate and survival rate. Before surgery, patients need to undergo comprehensive physical examination and evaluation, such as imaging examination, pathological diagnosis, etc., to determine the location, size and invasion scope of the tumor, and then select specific surgical methods according to the specific conditions of the patient, such as distal gastrectomy, proximal gastrectomy, total gastrectomy, etc., while performing standardized lymph node dissection to reduce the risk of recurrence.

Postoperative patients also need to combine chemotherapy, radiotherapy and other adjuvant therapy to further improve the treatment effect and prevent cancer cell residue and recurrence.
