cancer occurs mostly
in men over the age of 40.
It should be
noted the negative role in this cancer tobacco and alcohol.
Some
pathological predisposing land may also be implicated:
-The chronic
atrophic gastritis,
-The anemia
BIEMER,
-Adenomatous
polyps
-The metaplasia
of the gastric mucosa,
-The partial
gastrectomy,
-Contamination
HELICOBACTER Stomach cancer
The stomach PYLORI
-A family
history of gastric cancer or colon,
-Blood group A.
Some exogenous
carcinogens are recognized:
The
over-consumption of salt,
-Smoked meats,
-Foods
containing nitrates,
-Tobacco,
-The eating and
drinking hot,
-Diets low in
vitamin A and C.
SYMPTOMS
The telltale
signs are:
- Often kind of
ulcer pain more or less relieved by meals
- Weight loss
- A decline in
general health
- Vomiting,
dyspepsia, that is to say, bad digestion
- Loss of
appetite
- Sometimes
vomiting blood or sometimes loss of black blood from the rectum.
These are often
signs that lead to the bastards see: poor digestion, poor general condition.
The diagnosis is
confirmed by the endoscopy that is to say, by the endoscopic examination
allowing a biopsy that is to say, a sample of the tumor and microscopic examination.
The review
NUCLEAR MAGNETIC RESONANCE abdominopelvic will, before the implementation of
treatment, to determine the non-extension of the gastric tumor (lymph nodes,
liver metastases).
The histological
form of stomach cancer is the most common carcinoma in 85% of cases.
TREATMENT
The treatment is
almost always surgical, and may sometimes be secondarily associated with
chemotherapy.
PREVENTION
Prevention of
gastric cancer is of course based on the suppression of tobacco and alcohol,
especially spirits.
should also be
noted that one should avoid eating and drinking hot.
IMPORTANT
REMINDER
- Any digestive
disorder that is hard to see.
- Any weight
loss, especially if it is fast, must see.
- Loss of blood
vomiting or rectally, must see.
- All down the
condition worsening, must see.
The prognosis of
gastric cancer would be greatly improved if the diagnosis was made earlier
stage of gastric cancer, that is to say limited to MUCOSA and therefore have
not yet invaded the muscle of the stomach .
So all
persistent gastrointestinal symptoms, even bastard shall promptly conduct a
ENDOSCOPY for the earliest possible diagnosis.
All gastric
ulcer unhealed after correct treatment will be considered suspicious for
malignancy and will have to re-apply for a new endoscopy BIOPSY.
