Gastric Cancer: Analysis of the therapeutic effect of patients with gastric cancer bleeding after receiving palliative radiotherapy

Gastric cancer is the fifth most common cancer and the fourth largest cause of cancer-related deaths due to stomach cancer is common in Asia, the Asian countries have a large number of patients with gastric cancer is in advanced stages of diagnosis out
.

Although systemic therapy has improved, the survival rate of patients with advanced gastric cancer is still limited

Gastric cancer is the fifth most common cancer and the fourth largest cause of cancer-related deaths due to stomach cancer is common in Asia, the Asian countries have a large number of patients with gastric cancer is in advanced stages of diagnosis out

 

The research plan is mainly to include patients with advanced gastric cancer (hemoglobin level <8.
0 g/dL) who meet the blood transfusion standards into this study
.

The primary endpoint is the intention-to-treat (ITT) bleeding response rate at 4 weeks

 

A total of 55 patients from 15 medical institutions were recruited for this study
.

At 2, 4, and 8 weeks, the ITT response rates were 47%, 53%, and 49%, respectively

 

At the end of the study, the author stated that this study proved that patients who received relatively low radiation doses had a higher response rate to palliative care
.

Palliative radiotherapy may be very effective in improving anemia, but it is mildly toxic

At the end of the study, the author stated that this study proved that patients who received relatively low radiation doses had a higher response rate to palliative care
