Gastric cancer is mostly caused by eating! These 5 types of people should get a gastroscopy immediately
Do you have stomach pain every day? It may not be gastritis! Gastric cancer is already in the late stage when it is discovered. One person dies from gastric cancer every 3 minutes in my country, but the cure rate is >90% if it is discovered in the early stage!
1️⃣ Four major signs of gastric cancer
⚠️ Continuous stomach pain (worsened after meals)
⚠️ Sudden loss of meat (nausea at the sight of meat)
⚠️ Black stools like tar (gastrointestinal bleeding)
⚠️ Lose 10 pounds or more in half a year
2️⃣ Five most dangerous types of people
✅ Love to eat pickled fish, bacon, and pickles (nitrite exceeds the standard)
✅ Infection with Helicobacter pylori (78% of gastric cancer patients are infected!)
✅ Long-term smoking and drinking (damage to gastric mucosa)
✅ Family history of gastric cancer (risk is 3 times higher!)
✅ Chronic atrophic gastritis/gastric ulcer
3️⃣ Life-saving screening method
▪️ Gastroscopy: Must be done once at the age of 40! Biopsy can detect 1cm early cancer
▪️ Helicobacter pylori test: C13 breath test, positive requires sterilization
▪️ Tumor markers: Be alert to abnormal CEA and CA72-4
Treatment in stages
▫️ Early stage: endoscopic resection (5-year survival rate > 95%)
▫️ Middle and late stage: surgical gastrectomy + chemotherapy (survival rate < 30%)
▫️ Latest treatment: immunotherapy (PD-L1 test required)
Three things to prevent cancer
✅ Eat less pickled food (< 2 times a week)
✅ Disinfect tableware regularly (to prevent Helicobacter pylori)
✅ Do gastroscopy after 40 years old even if there are no symptoms
