What is cardiac adenocarcinoma

BY Ira Max 2020-07-21

  What is adenocarcinoma of the cardia? Cardiac cancer (benmenai) is adenocarcinoma that occurs in the gastric cardia, that is, within 2 cm of the esophagogastric junction. It is a special type of gastric cancer and should be distinguished from lower esophageal cancer. However, it is different from gastric cancer in other parts, with its own anatomical histological characteristics and clinical manifestations, unique diagnosis and treatment methods, and poor surgical treatment effects. In my country, the mortality and morbidity of cardia cancer are among the highest among various malignant tumors. Data show that the death rate of cardiac cancer accounts for about 12% of the total mortality. In the areas with high incidence of esophageal cancer in the suburbs of Hebi and Linzhou in Henan Province, deaths caused by cardia cancer accounted for 20% of the total deaths of residents. Medicines and foods with anti-cancer and anti-cancer effects are selected to form a medicinal diet, which has the special effects of nourishing and strengthening and supporting cancer. Traditional Chinese medicine diet has its unique requirements for the prevention and treatment of cardia cancer.

  Clinical treatment of gastric cancer Tumors or esophageal tumors are mixed together. Early patients basically had no obvious discomfort. With the development of the disease and the expansion of the tumor, abnormal sensations gradually began to appear. But this feeling will not affect daily life, so it is not easy to cause patients to be alert. The early symptoms of cardia tumors are:

   1. Hemorrhage, patients with esophageal cancer and cardia cancer sometimes vomit blood or blood in the stool. Cardiac cancer tumors can infiltrate large blood vessels and cause fatal hemorrhage. This is also a common clinical manifestation of cardia cancer.

  2. Pain, persistent dull pain in the scapular region of the back sternal or back, indicating that the cancer of the cardia cancer has invaded, causing mediastinitis around the esophagus. The clinical manifestations of cardia cancer can cause pain that can occur in the upper abdomen The possibility of surgical resection is small, and it should be noted that the tumors of cardia cancer may be perforated.

  3. Obstruction, patients with cardia cancer also have persistent mucus vomiting, which is due to the infiltration and inflammation of esophageal cancer, which causes the secretion of esophageal glands and salivary glands to increase reflexively. Mucus can accumulate in the esophagus and can return , Causing choking and even aspiration pneumonia. Therefore, this is also one of the clinical manifestations of cardia cancer.

  4. Difficulty swallowing is a typical symptom of the clinical manifestations of cardia cancer. The symptoms of cardia cancer generally indicate that the tumor has invaded more than two thirds of the esophageal circumference, often accompanied by tissues around the esophagus The general trend of infiltration and lymph node metastasis is progressive exacerbation, which is persistent.

   5. Weight loss and weight loss. The patient suffered from anorexia due to difficulty in eating, poor nutrition, body weight loss, and extensive tumor metastasis.

   6. The voice is hoarse. Often caused by direct tumor invasion or metastatic lymph node compression of the recurrent laryngeal nerve.

  7. Obstruction, due to the infiltration of cardia tumors and inflammatory reflexes, causes increased secretion of esophageal glands and salivary glands.

  8. Initial symptoms: ① swollen or slightly painful behind the breastbone. This symptom does not occur continuously, but is intermittent or worse after fatigue and rapid eating; ② foreign body sensation when swallowing food; ③ stagnation or frustration when swallowing; ④ chest bloating or tightness, and often accompanied by throat Dryness; ⑤ fullness and light pain in the heart fossa, under the xiphoid process, or upper abdomen, which is more obvious when eating dry food, but it does not occur every time and is intermittent.
