Stomach cancer is hard to detect, because there are no specific signs of this disease. Very often this form of oncology is masked for various inflammatory disorders. In most cases, the general characteristic of gastric stump cancer depends on where the tumor is located, as well as the stages of development of this process.
Complaints of the patient can be divided into three groups: general deterioration, dyspeptic disorders, disruption of the stomach. It is important to take into account the dynamics of complaints in order to timely detect a tendency of their growth. In case of appearance of such symptoms, it is recommended to go to the polyclinic without delay.
Despite the rapid development of medicine, stomach stump cancer is still quite difficult to diagnose. A large number of patients with this disease are treated for quite another reason. Because of this, it is almost impossible to get help, since the effectiveness of a repeat operation depends on a timely diagnosis of the disease.
There is an opinion that a second operation can not bring tangible benefits. Most patients who have found this form of cancer are denied re-operation, prescribing only therapy that includes intravenous nutrition, anesthesia.
Today, due to repeated operations of stomach cancer, satisfactory results have been achieved, which indicates the expediency of their carrying out. Repeated surgery often becomes radical for a tumor, as a result, the patient can be completely cured. Even if you completely can not get rid of the tumor, reducing its weight will significantly extend the life of the patient.
The operation of stomach cancer can be combined. In this case, some additional organs that have been exposed to the tumor can be operated: the small intestine, the spleen, and the liver. In each case, the need for a radical operation is determined individually.
In the postoperative period, there may be some complications in the patient's health status. So, there can be a disturbance of cardiac activity, pneumonia, an inconsistency of the anastomosis sutures. After a secondary cancer surgery, stumps should be more careful about their health: more often go through endoscopic examinations of the body, and in case of anxious symptoms - immediately consult a doctor.
