should have enjoyed the beautiful Shaoguang, but 22-year-old Xiao Liu (pseudonym) was diagnosed with advanced stomach cancer and even metastasized. How did stomach cancer come to his door at such a young age? The reason is related to his usual diet.
It's uncomfortable not to eat or even drink water
A 22-year-old man was diagnosed with advanced stomach cancer
Not long ago, Xiao Liu, a young man working in Keqiao, Shaoxing, Zhejiang, was taken by his parents to the Department of Gastroenterology of Keqiao District Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital for medical treatment because of unbearable abdominal pain, decreased appetite and poor appetite. Ultrasound revealed fluid in the abdominal cavity and the patient was admitted to hospital.
Zhong Qinjuan, deputy chief physician of the Department of Gastroenterology, learned from the patient's medical history that the patient had received corresponding treatment in a local hospital for abdominal pain for one month, but the effect was not significant.
After that, Zhong Qinjuan prescribed an abdominal CT scan for him. The results suggest that the patient has an increased effusion in the ascites compared to before. Zhong Qinjuan performed a diagnostic paracentesis on the patient with her consent. In the end, Xiao Liu's ascites test results showed that the tumor indicators were abnormal, and abnormal cells were also found, and cancer cells were found in the exfoliated cells.
Xiaoliu's local hospital has perfected colonoscopy, and at that time, contrast-enhanced CT did not have obvious clues suggesting tumor disease, so where did this tumor indicator come from?
Chen Gang, chief physician of the Department of Gastroenterology, suggested further improving gastroscopy. Under the painless gastroscopy, the "real culprit" of abnormal tumor indicators and ascites was found - it was a leather stomach, and malignant tumors were considered.
"The pathology showed that poorly differentiated adenocarcinoma, malignant ascites, and abdominal metastasis were considered, which was an advanced stage of the tumor, and the best opportunity for surgery had been missed. If chemotherapy is used, the effect may not be ideal, the prognosis is very poor, and the survival time is very short. Chen Gang said that this is also the reason why patients have not been able to eat white rice porridge and noodles recently, and even feel uncomfortable in their abdomen when they drink water.
"Leather stomach" is a type of advanced stomach cancer
This is what is needed to prevent stomach cancer
Zhong Qinjuan introduced that "leather stomach" is commonly said that cancer cells do not grow into the stomach, but grow to the middle and outside of the stomach wall, invading the stomach wall, causing the stomach peristalsis to weaken, the stomach cavity to shrink, the stomach wall to become thick and stiff, visually just like leather, hence the name.
"Most patients don't even have obvious symptoms, which are similar to ordinary stomach problems, which may only manifest as poor appetite and early satiety. Even if the tumor has penetrated deep into the muscle, the lesion in the gastric cavity may not be obvious, and the gastroscopy may not be able to detect the lesion in time, resulting in missed diagnosis. Zhong Qinjuan said that due to the special growth mode of the "leather stomach" tumor, its clinical symptoms are not characteristic, which makes early diagnosis difficult, and most of them are already at an advanced stage when they are found.
How could such a young man get this disease? Zhong Qinjuan learned in a chat with the patient that Xiao Liu's family and relatives have no similar genetic history, and they usually have no stomach pain or abdominal discomfort. Further questioning his life and diet Xi habits, it was learned that because Xiao Liu's parents had been working outside for many years, there was no one to cook and take care of them at home, and Xiao Liu had relied on instant noodles and takeout for three meals a day for two years, especially because he couldn't put down spicy and stimulating food, and he never left drinks such as music and Sprite every day, and he had the Xi habit of swiping his mobile phone to fall asleep late.
Zhong Qinjuan told reporters that "leather stomach" is a special manifestation of gastric cancer, and genetic factors, fast-paced and high-pressure modern life, staying up late, unhealthy diet, and environmental pollution may induce gastric cancer. "Gastrointestinal tumors often have no special symptoms in the early stage, so once found, it is often at an advanced stage, and the best time to lose treatment is lost. Zhong Qinjuan said that she suggested that in terms of dietary Xi habits, three meals should be regular, eat vegetables, fruits, and high-quality protein appropriately every day, reduce pickled and fried foods, and eat less spicy foods that easily stimulate the esophagus and stomach mucosa; in terms of work and rest Xi habits, maintain enough sleep, reduce unnecessary staying up late, and quit the bad Xi habit of not sleeping and brushing mobile phones in the middle of the night. At the same time, it is recommended that citizens over the age of 35 have gastrointestinal symptoms such as stomach bloating, stomach pain, acid reflux, and diarrhea in time.
