To improve the results of surgery or, sometimes, as the only alternative treatment when surgery is not feasible, perform different chemotherapy treatments, with mixed results. This is why chemotherapy is administered in different ways according to the center in question and none of which has stood significantly above the rest. Can also sometimes given before surgery, or directly into the abdomen during surgery or radiotherapy together. There is therefore a unique treatment system.

What complications can arise?

Complications can arise from surgery, chemotherapy or cancer outcomes. Diagnostic studies generally do not usually cause complications and more important, such as bleeding or gastric perforation by endoscopy are rare.

Gastrectomy is a fairly aggressive intervention and therefore can lead to many complications. It is common for patients with complete removal of the stomach to spend some days in an intensive care unit monitoring. Complications can be general, the most frequent respiratory (collapse of part of the lung or atelectasis, pneumonia, pleural effusion) and urinary (urine infection), or local. Among these, the most common are infection and bleeding (which can reach the patient require reoperation) but also are important pancreatitis and anastomotic dehiscence (when loose ends that have been spliced out and the content the abdomen, causing peritonitis or fistula).

The patients who have been removed stomach can lead a normal life with some precautions. Chew at the food and make several meals a day less than usual amount. The chewing is especially important for fruit and vegetables is convenient crush in a food if they can not chew well. Also often require administration of vitamin B12 through a monthly injection.

Chemotherapy will cause various complications depending on the combination to be used but often the hair loss and digestive disturbances (mainly nausea and vomiting).

For its part, the cancer may:

* Extend the peritoneum as a carcinomatosis causing intestinal obstruction pattern.

* Reappear in the same location (local recurrence), giving different problems depending on the size and location.

* Causing liver metastases, with the consequent destruction of the liver.

What is the prognosis of stomach cancer?

Unfortunately the prognosis of stomach cancer is bad enough, since cancer is usually diagnosed in advanced stages. However, when detected early and removed properly can achieve very high survival figures, which are as high as 90% at 5 years.

Anyway, where you can not cure cancer, surgery and chemotherapy can improve survival and quality of life of patients, in addition to palliative care units are usually able to get a pretty good control of symptoms.

Can we prevent stomach cancer?

You can not prevent the occurrence of gastric cancer as such, but the following measures help to be less frequent and more cases are diagnosed in early stages and therefore better prognosis:

* Do not smoke and be moderate in the consumption of alcohol.

* Include a significant amount of vegetables and fruits (especially citrus) in your diet.

* See your doctor to treat you if you have any disease of the stomach and follow the controls as recommended.

* See your doctor as soon as the stomach-related symptoms (discomfort with digestion, vomiting, abdominal pain, etc …)

The tumor may cause various complications, which give rise to different symptoms.

Tumors that originate in the last portion of the stomach may obstruct their exit causing vomiting and abdominal pain after meals, making the food. Sometimes tumors may bleed, little by little, with what appears anemia and black debris in the stool (called melena) or abruptly, with severe bleeding that causes vomiting of blood.

You can also perforate the stomach by the tumor, which leads to peritonitis with severe abdominal pain, increased temperature and worsening of general condition.

In more advanced cases, other symptoms appear due to the nature of tumor. You can get to feel a mass in the upper abdomen. If there are liver metastases and jaundice may occur in the case of peritoneal carcinomatosis appear maldigestion, constipation and episodes of intestinal obstruction. Accompanying all this, of course, is often emphasize weight loss and progressive deterioration of general condition.

How is stomach cancer diagnosed?

Apart from data collection in the history of the patient and the physician’s examination, the ultimate test for the diagnosis of stomach cancer is the oral endoscopy or gastroscopy. In this test a tube with a light and a video camera through the mouth into the stomach and be able to see inside. In addition you can take biopsy specimens is definitive evidence that confirms the diagnosis and to study other non-malignant lesions. For this test does not require any preparation except for a few hours of fasting and in some schools are given a sedative and a topical anesthetic in the mouth to lessen the discomfort.

Early detection
Early detection of cancer is the key. Read about it here. In general: early detection of cancer.

The barium meal is used for the radiological study of the stomach in the case of patients have reported gastric symptoms, it is less uncomfortable than endoscopy. In most cases identify the tumor and allowed surgeons to check the location before surgery. However, biopsies can be taken and the results are less reliable than endoscopy.

To study the extension that is able to reach the tumor or scanners can perform scans and in some centers, where available, ultrasound via an endoscope (EUS) or laparoscopy according to the protocols of treatment with gastric cancer. In laparoscopy, performed with local or general anesthesia, according to the Centers, a camera is inserted through the navel into the abdomen to see if there is peritoneal carcinomatosis, plus an ultrasound can be used to expand the data.

All these tests are performed to avoid operating on patients who then will not be able to do anything (eg if they have an important peritoneal carcinomatosis), but are procedures or provide little information or very aggressive, and unless there is a suspicion of advanced disease not typically perform.

1. The pain is severe and sudden in the waist area that extends to the groin. The pain has not subsided even though people try certain positions, such as lying, bending, etc.. Patients usually have to squirm in pain. Even the pain intense, sufferers often soaked with sweat.
2. Usually there were complaints of nausea and vomiting.
3. Although not always, sometimes the blood found in urine. This occurs because the stones irritate the urinary tract causing injury.
4. Burning feeling in the urinary tract.
5. urine eager to taste.
6. Fever.
Kidney stones or urinary tract stones are generally caused by changing the normal balance of water, salt, minerals, and other substances in urine. Type of substance that rising levels determine the type of rock formed. Some types of stones according to the substances composing it are:

1. Calcium stones; rock types are most commonly found. Great shape with a smooth surface. Can be a mixture of calcium with oxalate or calcium to phosphate. Calcium stones are often found in people who have excessive levels of vitamin D or parathyroid gland disorder. People who suffer from cancer, kidney disease, or disease can also suffer sarkoidosis calcium stones.
2. Uric acid stones; surface smooth, brown, and soft. These stones are formed from uric acid levels in urine high. Uric acid stone disease is usually accompanied by arthritis uric acid (gout arthritis).
3. Struvite stone; stones are usually shaped antlers. Arising from the content of ammonia in the urine high. High Ammonia is usually the result of urinary tract infection, because bacteria that cause infection can produce ammonia.
4. Cystine stones; shaped yellow crystals. Arising from high levels of cystine in the urine. This situation occurs in sistinuria disease. Stone of this type are rarely found, only one among a thousand. Cystine stones are usually about the patients aged 10 – 30 years.

In order to avoid kidney stone disease, suggested several ways that include:

1. Drink lots of water (8-10 glasses a day), thus becomes more dilute urine, thereby reducing the possibility of forming substances stones to belong together. By drinking a lot, colored urine is usually clear, not yellow anymore.
2. Drinking water when i wake up at dawn today. This would immediately stimulate us to urinate, so that the water had crept art semalamam replaced with new ones.
3. Do not hold your urine; urine can cause suppressed become more concentrated urine, or urinary tract infections. Concentrated urine and urinary tract infections are the supporting factors of stone formation.
4. Balanced diet, exercise, and maintaining ideal body weight remained.

Risk factor of Uterus Cancer

* Sex at an early age.
* Sex with different individuals.
* Having endured venereal diseases, herpes, etc. ..
* Have submitted altered cytology.

Symptoms: Investigate any irregular vaginal bleeding, prolonged or unusual, like small smudges or bleeding after intercourse.
Diagnosis: cervical cytology has been a great help for early diagnosis of cancer. It involves taking a sample of discharge from the cervix to examine the cells present. The specimen is spread on a plate, applied laboratory techniques of fixation and staining and then observed under the microscope.
Prevention: As a preventive measure is indicated to an annual medical examination and cervical cytology (also called Pap smear). Any woman who has engaged in sexual activity or that is over 18 years must carry out such checks.
Other prevention measures include delaying the onset of sexual activity and sexual intercourse with an individual.
