What kind of gastric ulcer may be cancerous
Went to the turn of the spring, many patients with peptic ulcer began suffering from. Data show that many at home and abroad, ulcer disease in the autumn, winter and spring quarter to the intersection of incidence, showing obvious features of the season. Yanmian and gastric ulcer due to illness, complex and emotion-related and, if the condition does not increase or timely treatment, can lead to bleeding, perforation, obstruction and Helicobacter pylori, and other adverse consequences of cancer, so should be a high degree of attention.
Most of gastrointestinal ulcers could be cured
Peptic ulcers that occurred on the main stomach and duodenal ulcers of the chronic, due to the formation of ulcers and gastric acid and pepsin digestion Therefore, the name of the role, accounting for about 99 percent of the digestive ulcers.
Peptic ulcer is a common benign disease, a world-wide distribution. Have information to statistics, duodenal ulcer occurs in young adults, late age at onset of gastric ulcer, duodenal ulcer than an average night about 10 years, the incidence of duodenal ulcer is about three times the gastric ulcer.
The cause of peptic ulcer is not entirely clear, a clear comparison with Helicobacter pylori infection, taking non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs and excessive gastric acid secretion. Genetic factors, psychological and emotional fluctuations, the diet without the laws, and preferable snack food, smoking, drinking and geographical environment and climate as well as emphysema and chronic diseases such as hepatitis B is also associated with the incidence of peptic ulcers.
In patients with peptic ulcer, about 10% to 15% of the people and asymptomatic attack, but most patients with typical clinical features, namely: chronic, autumn and winter and spring at the turn of the cyclical rhythm of the onset of abdominal pain. Duodenal ulcer Changbiaoxianwei rhythm of the air abdominal pain, and often for postprandial gastric ulcer pain. Some patients usually lack the typical clinical manifestations, and to bleeding, acute perforation for the first symptom. Contrast or upper gastrointestinal endoscopy inspection can often be diagnosed, and to acid suppression agent, gastric protection agents, antibiotics such as the joint medical treatment most patients can be cured.
Gastric ulcer has been considered a precancerous lesions
Duodenal ulcer almost not cancerous, but the ulcer has been considered a precancerous lesions. According to China’s literature, about 5% of the ulcer can be cancerous, this figure has increased the current trend, statistics of up to 29.4 percent of gastric cancer from gastric ulcer. General ulcer cancer occurred in the mucous membrane around these parts in the mucosal ulcers erosion occurred when, after repeated destruction and regeneration can occur stimulate malignant. In recent years due to the diagnosis and screening methods of progress, found the early gastric cancer confined to the mucosal erosion and ulcers can occur, its surface can be changed by the secondary peptic ulcer, cancer such as the ulcer can be as benign ulcer repair, and ulcers And restoration can be repeated, so the course may be extended for up to several months or even longer, so the ulcer should be highly valued.
If the following circumstances, it is necessary to heighten vigilance:
Nature and the pain of change: gastric ulcer pain for more on the performance of abdominal pain, a burning kind or Duntong, and the pain of the attack and eat normally after a meal in half an hour to one hour there, gradually ease. If the pain of the loss of these laws, and become irregular attack, or a persistent pain, or pain in nature than ever before in a significant change, it should be a sign of vigilance for cancer.
With anti-ulcer drug invalid: Although gastric ulcer easily repeated attack, but usually after taking anti-ulcer drugs, can ease symptoms in general. If the use of conventional anti-ulcer medication after a period of time, the effect is not obvious, or even ineffective, it should be a sign of suspected cancer.
Sexual emaciated patients: in the short term there is loss of appetite, nausea, vomiting, fever and conduct of suffering from weight loss, weight loss, the possibility of cancer greatly.
There will be black and hematemesis: patients often occurred near future there hematemesis or asphalt-like stools, fecal occult blood test results positive for sustained and serious anemia, these phenomena show that gastric ulcer may be malignant cancer.
Abdominal mass there: gastric ulcer formation in patients with abdominal mass is generally not, but if cancerous, the ulcer will be larger, harden, in patients with advanced touch to the upper left abdominal mass. Mass texture often hard, nodular was not smooth.
Other: stomach surgery after more than five years, indigestion, weight loss, anemia and gastrorrhagia symptoms appear on the abdominal distention of unknown causes nausea, discomfort, weakness, weight loss, and so on.
