At different times, humanity suffered from diseases that are practically untreatable. Despite the fact that today medicine has reached a completely new level, this problem has not left us. There is a terrible diagnosis called cancer. Stomach, intestines, brain, blood - everything in the body is subject to it. But to cure it to the end is extremely difficult. It's not just about costly procedures that
not affordable for every patient. Complex surgical interventions are being used, which do not guarantee a 100% cure for this terrible disease.
Forms of stomach cancer are different. Experts identify 5 main ones, depending on the type of cells that form the tumor itself.
- A form of cancer called adenocarcinoma. It is she who is considered the most common in practice. In this case, all cancer cells produce mucus.
- If the tumor consists of dense tissue, then in this case we have a solid cancer. The stomach suffers from it quite rarely.
- Lymphoma. If the doctors made such a diagnosis, then we are talking about lymphatic cells that created a tumor in the area of the walls of the stomach.
- If on mucous membranesshells you can see a neoplasm that has the shape of a ring, then this form of cancer is called "ring-shaped". This type grows very quickly and increases in size, and also instantly metastasizes.
- If cancer began its development directly from the muscle tissue of the stomach, then it is called "leiomyosarcoma".
Only a professional and well-equipped clinic can make an accurate diagnosis. Gastric cancer is quite difficult to diagnose in the early stages of development. A person may not notice obvious symptoms. In addition, the patient quite often suffers from a peptic ulcer for several years, which, in turn, hides the signs of the onset of a cancerous tumor. And belated treatment no longer gives
such positive results as before. Therefore, it is very important to regularly undergo a comprehensive examination of the gastrointestinal tract for neoplasms.
Here are the most common symptoms of cancer. The stomach can react quite violently to the appearance of a malignant tumor:
- too fast saturation with food, unusual for the patient before;
- vomiting blood;
- physical weakness, fatigue, severe and rapid weight loss;
- difficulty swallowing;
- feelings of heaviness and pressure in the sternum;
- constant heartburn;
- abdominal pain.
What causes cancer? The stomach can react in such a negative way, for example, toimproper nutrition. If you eat few vegetables and fruits, but at the same time abuse nitrates, seasonings, preservatives and s alt, then the risk of getting cancer increases significantly. Contribute to the development of malignant tumors and polyps. In the area of these growths, cancer most often occurs. People suffering from various chronic diseases of the gastrointestinal tract for a long time are at particular risk.
Forms and methods of cancer treatment directly depend on its variety and stage. But for a correct diagnosis, it is necessary to visit the clinic in a timely manner. Therefore, do not neglect the examination of the stomach.
