Gastric Cancer: Symptoms, Diagnosis, and Management
Gastric cancer, also known as stomach cancer, originates in the mucus-producing cells of the stomach lining. This type of cancer primarily affects older individuals and is more common in men. Risk factors include gastritis, Helicobacter pylori infection, family history, and lifestyle choices like smoking and alcohol consumption. Symptoms of gastric cancer may include appetite loss, indigestion, vomiting, and weight loss. Diagnosis involves a series of evaluations like endoscopy and imaging tests. Complications can arise, such as hemorrhage and metastasis. Treatment options include chemotherapy, radiation, and surgical interventions such as gastrectomy. Nursing care involves addressing pain, nutritional imbalances, self-esteem issues, and skin integrity concerns.
