What Is a Gastric Neoplasm?

Gastric tumors are common diseases of the digestive system and can be divided into malignant and benign. Malignant tumors include gastric cancer, malignant lymphoma, and malignant stromal tumors. Gastric cancer is the most common, and its incidence ranks first among malignant tumors of the digestive tract. Benign gastric tumors, which account for 2% of gastric tumors, can be divided into two categories: one type is benign epithelial cell tumors derived from mucosa, such as gastric adenomas and adenomatous polyps. The other is benign mesenchymal tumors, such as stromal tumors, lipomas, and neurofibromas. The common symptom is gastrointestinal bleeding, which may have symptoms of upper abdominal pain and discomfort. Some patients can have abdominal masses, larger tumors in the pylorus that can cause obstruction. Oral "gastric window" contrast-enhanced ultrasound examination can show the gastric mucosa and submucosal structure, and can understand the condition of tissues around the stomach. Therefore, the early diagnosis rate of gastric tumors, especially submucosal tumors can be further improved.

Overview of gastric tumors

Stomach tumors rarely show symptoms, and some symptoms occur only after complications or malignant growth of the tumor, so it is easy to be ignored. Common complications include benign tumors near the cardiac and dysphagia symptoms; benign tumors in the pyloric region can develop pyloric obstruction or pyloric obstruction or pedicled adenomas slide into the pyloric duct and duodenum. Congestion, edema, and even intussusception, necrosis, and perforation occur. If the tumor shows ulcers, stomach upset, pain, and even bleeding may occur. Leiomyoma and neurofibromatosis can cause acute major bleeding.

Gastric tumor examination diagnosis

It is difficult to diagnose gastric tumors by clinical symptoms. X-ray barium examination showed a round filling defect with a uniform edge in the stomach, and a shadow when the tumor showed ulcers. However, X-ray barium examination cannot distinguish the benign and malignant tumors, especially the early malignancy of the tumors. Therefore, gastroscopy is particularly important. Gastroscopy showed that the polypoid hemangioma was spherical, single or multiple, with pedicles or broad bases. If there are nodules, erosions, ulcers or cauliflower changes on the surface of the adenocarcinoma, the color is paler than that of the surrounding mucosa, and those with broad base and surrounding gastric mucosa are hypertrophic. Leiomyomas are most common in mesenchymal tumors, which are often small and have sharp boundaries. They do not invade the surrounding tissues and can be treated by local resection. Because benign gastric tumors have few clinical symptoms, once the symptoms appear, they are mostly tumor growth with complications or malignant changes. So once the diagnosis is confirmed, surgical treatment must often be considered. The resected specimen must be sent to the pathology for histological examination, so as not to mistakenly treat the benign tumors that have been malignant or originally malignant tumors.

Gastric tumors other related

The onset of liver tumors is relatively insidious. Generally, there are no symptoms at an early stage. When patients have obvious clinical symptoms, the disease often belongs to the middle and advanced stages.

The incidence of typical symptoms of liver cancer is basically the same at home and abroad. The first symptom is the pain in the liver area, followed by the upper abdominal mass. Anorexia, fatigue, weight loss, fever of unknown cause, diarrhea, abdominal pain. Sore right shoulder. There are also some complications of liver cirrhosis in some patients, such as melena and vomiting. Jaundice and so on. A small number of patients are hospitalized because of symptoms caused by metastatic lesions, and most of these symptoms are not specific.

Common symptoms of gastric tumors

Most patients with advanced liver cancer have pain in the liver area as the first symptom, with an incidence of more than 50%. Pain in the liver is generally located in the right rib or under the xiphoid process, and the pain is intermittent or persistent. Dull pain or tingling. For some time before the pain, the patient may feel discomfort in the right upper quadrant. The pain can be mild or severe or relieve on its own in the short term. The main cause of pain is the rapid growth of the tumor, which compresses the liver capsule and produces traction pain. It can also be caused by tumor necrosis stimulating the liver capsule. A few patients develop severe pain in the liver area spontaneously or after liver puncture, mostly due to rupture and bleeding of cancerous nodules on the liver surface. If it is accompanied by a decrease in blood pressure, shock, and bloody fluid in the abdominal puncture, it means that the cancerous nodule is severely ruptured and bleeding. In this case, emergency rescue is required. Without the above-mentioned concomitant symptoms and more limited pain, it indicates that the bleeding is located under the liver capsule. Pain can vary depending on where the tumor grows. Tumors in the left lobe often cause pain in the middle and upper abdomen; tumors in the right lobe have pain in the right quarter ribs; when the tumor involves the diaphragm, pain radiates to the right shoulder Or right back, it is easy to be mistaken for shoulder arthritis; when the tumor is located in the posterior segment of the right lobe, it can sometimes cause low back pain; those with tumors located deep in the liver parenchyma rarely feel pain.

Gastric tumor liver tumor staging

Even the average person often mentions the stage of cancer, because the treatment of cancer is closely related to its stage. But most people simply know that cancer can be divided into early and advanced stages. In fact, we know the stages in more detail.

On staging,

The first stage indicates that the diameter of the tumor is less than 2 cm, and no blood or lymphatic metastasis has occurred.

The second stage indicates that although the diameter of the tumor is less than 2 cm, the tumor has invaded the blood vessels closer to it; or there are two cancerous tumors with a diameter of less than 2 cm but the blood vessels have not penetrated; the tumor is more than 2 cm in diameter , But without invasion of blood vessels is also counted as such.

The third stage, which indicates a tumor with a diameter of 2 cm or more, and has invaded the blood vessels; or there are several small tumors with a diameter of less than 2 cm, but there are already vascular invasions, or one or more than 2 cm Tumor.

The fourth stage refers to a tumor with a diameter of 2 cm or more. The liver of both leaves has a tumor, or the tumor has invaded the portal vein of the liver.

The fifth stage refers to tumors with a diameter of more than 2 cm. Both livers have tumors, or the tumors have invaded the portal vein of the liver. And there is distal transfer.

Gastric tumor liver cancer treatment

Since the 1980s, various new technologies and methods for treating liver cancer have sprung up, which has greatly improved the treatment of liver cancer.

Most of the liver cancers we found and treated are in the middle and advanced stages. Although the efficacy of middle and advanced stage liver cancer is not as good as that of early stage liver cancer, as long as the comprehensive treatment is scientific and regular, it can effectively alleviate the disease and improve the quality of life of patients.

There are various treatment methods for liver cancer (tumor), including: surgery, traditional Chinese medicine, radiotherapy, chemotherapy, treatment, etc. After years of research, the most effective method or treatment principle is the combined application of multiple methods such as traditional Chinese medicine. Because most of the liver cancers we found belong to the advanced stage, because nearly three-quarters of liver cancers cannot be surgically removed at the time of discovery, the patient is old and frail, or suffers from heart, lung, and brain disorders that are not suitable for surgery.

Gastric tumor treatment principles

Benign polyps, those under 3 cm in diameter, can be resected under the gastroscope. If you suspect malignancy, you should take more biopsies first. For multiple polyps, the larger one can be cut with a snare under a gastroscope. The small polyps can be burned separately with argon ion coagulation (APC), microwave, and electrocoagulation, and should be followed up with a gastroscope. Adenomatous polyps have a tendency to malignant changes and should be removed under gastroscopy. Submucosal tumors are large and pedicleless, and most of them cannot be removed with a snare, but require surgery. Tumors can be removed by laparotomy or laparoscopy. For smaller diameters, it can be removed under gastroscopy. For patients with asymptomatic benign tumors, follow-up observation can be performed, and surgery should be considered before symptoms appear.

For malignant tumors, based on early radical surgery, symptomatic treatment.
