  • Study on the Curative Effect of Interventional Chemotherapy for Advanced Gastric Cancer

    ObjectiveTo observe the clinical curative effect of interventional chemotherapy in the treatment of advanced gastric cancer. MethodsThirty advanced gastric cancer patients underwent arterial infusion chemotherapy and embolization treatment between January and December 30, 2013. The treatment was carried out every three weeks. We evaluated the clinical results after the third treatment. The clinical improvement was assessed based on alleviation of such symptoms as epigastric pain, poor appetite, nausea, vomiting and fecal occult blood. The tumor size was evaluated through abdominal CT examination. ResultsAbdominal pain relieved in 19 out of 28 patients (67.9%); appetite improved in 18 out of 24 patients (75.0%); vomiting relieved in 15 out of 16 cases (93.8%); and fecal 9 out of 12 patients with positive occult blood turned to negative (75.0%). The total effective rate was 83.3%, and 8 patients accepted interventional therapy after operation. The survival rates during the 6, 12 and 24-month follow-up were respectively 85.0%, 65.0%, and 25.0%. ConclusionsInterventional chemotherapy and embolization treatment are effective for advanced gastric cancer, which can relieve symptoms and lower tumor stage. Some patients have a second chance of operation, which can be an effective method in the treatment of advanced gastric cancer.

  • Diagnosis and Treatment of Postoperative Intestinal Obstruction of Gastrointestinal Cancer

    ObjectiveTo investigate the diagnosis, treatment, and prognosis of the postoperative intestinal obstruction of gastrointestinal cancer. MethodThe clinical data of 58 patients with postoperative intestinal obstruction of gastrointestinal cancer from January 2011 to January 2013 were analyzed retrospectively. ResultsIn 58 patients with postoperative intestinal obstruction, there were 46 cases of incomplete intestinal obstruction, 12 cases of complete obstruction. Seventeen cases were treated conservatively and 41 cases were accepted laparotomy. The surgical exploration found that there were 4 cases of strangulated abdominal internal hernia, 4 cases of volvulus, 1 case of stercoral obstruction, 2 cases of intussusception, 9 cases of adhesive intestinal obstruction, and 21 cases of tumor recurrence. There were 32 patients with high tumor markers before laparotomy, including 19 cases of tumor recurrence. Fourteen cases had no obvious tumor lesions detected by PET-CT, but recurrence and metastasis were found by surgical exploration. ConclusionsThe recurrent postoperative intestinal obstruction of gastrointestinal cancer mostly means recurrence and metastasis, with poor prognosis. Early laparotomy may improve the prognosis and the quality of life, elevated tumor markers have some links with tumor recurrence and PET-CT is not sensitive for multiple nodular metastases.
