At different times, humanity has suffered from diseases that are practically untreatable. Despite the fact that today medicine has reached a whole 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 him. But to cure him to the end is extremely difficult. It’s not just about expensive procedures that
not every patient can afford it. Complex surgical interventions are used that do not guarantee one-hundred-percent elimination of this terrible ailment.
There are many forms of stomach cancer. Specialists distinguish 5 main 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 solid cancer. The stomach suffers from it quite rarely.
- Lymphoma If doctors made such a diagnosis, then we are talking about lymph cells that created a tumor in the region of the walls of the stomach.
- If a ring-shaped neoplasm is visible on the mucous membranes, then this form of cancer is called "cricoid cell". This type grows very quickly and increases in size, and also instantly gives metastases.
- If cancer began to develop directly from the muscle tissue of the stomach, then it is called "leiomyosarcoma."
An accurate diagnosis can only be made by a professional and well-equipped clinic. Stomach 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 peptic ulcer disease for several years , which, in turn, hides signs of the onset of a cancerous tumor. A delayed treatment gives no longer
positive results such as early. Therefore, it is very important to regularly undergo a comprehensive examination of the gastrointestinal tract for neoplasms.
Here are the symptoms that most often indicate cancer. The stomach can react quite violently to the appearance of a malignant tumor:
- too fast food saturation, unusual for the patient earlier;
- vomiting with blood;
- physical weakness, fatigue, severe and rapid weight loss;
- difficulty swallowing;
- feelings of heaviness and pressure in the sternum;
- constant heartburn;
- stomach ache.
What causes cancer? The stomach can react in such a negative way, for example, to malnutrition. If you eat few vegetables and fruits, but at the same time you abuse nitrates, seasonings, preservatives and salt, 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. In the zone of particular risk are people suffering for a long time various chronic
diseases of the gastrointestinal tract.
Forms and methods of treating cancer are directly dependent on its type and stage. But for the correct diagnosis, it is necessary to visit the clinic in a timely manner. Therefore, do not neglect examinations of the stomach.
