Ms. Cao, who is in Shanghai, is just 29 years old this year, and recently went to the hospital due to stomach discomfort, thinking that it might be indigestion, but after further examination, she was found to have cancer!
A 29-year-old girl suffers from the "king of stomach cancer"!
This cancer is very insidious....
Ms. Cao underwent a gastroscopy due to stomach discomfort and was accidentally found to have a rare gastric signet ring cell carcinoma.
Ms. Cao said that she was engaged in the live broadcast industry, and originally thought that she had a slight stomach discomfort caused by work pressure, but she was diagnosed with gastric signet ring cell carcinoma.
Ms. Cao said: "Usually there is a lot of pressure at work, and then, like many young people now, they don't eat much. I often skip breakfast, and then I drink more coffee and more alcohol. ”
Li Li, director of the Department of Gastroenterology of Yangpu District Central Hospital, said that gastric signet ring cell carcinoma is characterized by strong insidiousness, asymptomatic in the early stage, and rapid spread along the submucosa, so the survival time of advanced patients is generally only 6-12 months, and the 5-year survival rate is almost zero.
Preference for young people?
There have been several cases before.
Ms. Cao's story is not unique. As early as 2022, gastric signet ring cell carcinoma attracted the attention of the whole network.
On May 22, 2022, the well-known beauty blogger @mintsauce小q posted a farewell to netizens after a year, mentioning that she had an incurable disease, advanced stomach cancer, and could leave at any time.
She revealed in a long article: "I am getting more and more serious, I am completely unable to eat and drink, semi-paralyzed in bed, relying on infusions to maintain physical signs, and the height and weight of 168 are only a little more than 60 pounds......."This is a set of ** I took before the operation last year, and I probably knew it would be my last photo, but I liked it very much. I haven't been on camera since I was a blogger, and I hope people will like the way I look. I'm going to be 35 forever. ”
She also said: "I am unlucky, I got the most dangerous stomach cancer, signet ring + low differentiation + diffuse + stage 4, there was no obvious discomfort before I found it, it should be family inheritance + gene mutation, the doctor can't say clearly, just say that this disease is always easy for young women." I've tried my best**, I've cut my stomach, I've cut my small intestine, countless chemotherapy treatments, targeting, PD1, and even CarnK, but I can't stop the cancer cells from developing. ”
In March of the same year, Su Riman, a 28-year-old young dancer from Inner Mongolia, also died of this dangerous stomach cancer.
In addition, in January this year, Mr. Xiong (pseudonym) from Chongqing was also diagnosed with gastric signet ring cell carcinoma.
Mr. Xiong's life rhythm and no bad habits, his father died of stomach cancer 3 years ago, since then he has been doing regular gastric physical examinations every year, the latest C14 breath test was positive for Helicobacter pylori, and gastroscopy found a shallow depressed lesion on the anterior wall of the middle part of the gastric body, which suggested signet ring cell carcinoma.
And the experiences of Xiao Q and Mr. Xiong seem to point to "family inheritance", which has aroused the worries of many netizens for a while.
What is gastric signet ring cell carcinoma.
Gastric signet ring cell carcinoma is one of the many pathological types of gastric cancer, and in layman's terms, it is the nucleus of cancer cells that is pushed to the side of the cell under a microscope and looks like a ring, so it is called signet ring cell carcinoma. Han Jianbo, deputy chief physician of the Department of General Surgery of Nanjing Second Hospital, said that gastric signet ring cell carcinoma generally has a high degree of malignancy and a poor prognosis, one of the reasons is that it is generally poorly differentiated. "Tumor cells are divided into high, medium and low according to the degree of differentiation, and the lower the degree of differentiation, the higher the degree of malignancy, the worse the prognosis; Of course, there are many other factors that affect the prognosis of tumors, and this is not the only one that determines it. ”
In response to netizens' concerns that the patients are all young women, Han Jianbo said that this is not the case clinically, and the incidence of tumors in men is generally higher than that of women because of bad lifestyle habits such as smoking and drinking.
Is stomach cancer hereditary?
As for the "family inheritance + gene mutation" mentioned in Xiao Q's long article, Han Jianbo said: "First of all, digestive tract tumors are generally not inherited, so there is no need to panic, but people with a family history of digestive tract tumors have a slightly higher probability of digestive tract tumors, and there is a certain tendency, which should be paid more attention to." "The main reason for this is the common living environment and eating habits; In addition, a very small number of familial hereditary gastric cancers are caused by chromosomal abnormalities, which should be paid close attention to such people, and often such people also have intestinal tumors.
There are some typical manifestations of signet ring cell carcinoma, such as the stomach becoming stiff and peristalsis becoming poor, which is clinically called "leather stomach". However, its early symptoms are mild, and most patients do not notice it until the middle or late stages. "Strictly speaking, there are mostly no obvious symptoms in the early stage of gastric cancer, and the early symptoms are like gastritis or gastric ulcer symptoms, including upper abdominal fullness, discomfort or dull pain, belching, nausea, acid reflux, loss of appetite, etc. Han Jianbo reminded that the most important screening method is digestive tract endoscopy, that is, gastroscopy, which can detect lesions early: gastric polyps can be removed endoscopically as early as possible, gastric ulcers can be removed by internal medicine as early as possible, and if Helicobacter pylori is found to be positive, it needs to be formalized early.
Health science. Chinese often say "ten people have nine stomachs".
It means out of ten.
Nine of them had stomach problems.
It shows that there are many people who have stomach problems.
Vomiting, bloating, stomach pain, etc.
At first, people didn't think about it.
Thought it was just chronic gastritis.
I thought it would be good to take some medicine to protect my stomach.
As everyone knows, stomach cancer is also taking advantage of this to develop and grow.
The opportunity for surgery was lost.
Sun Agong, who lives in Wenling, Taizhou.
Vomiting and stomach distension at first.
I thought it was ordinary gastritis.
I went to the clinic to buy some stomach herbs.
Later the hospital checked.
A tumor was found in the stomach.
Often these symptoms go unnoticed.
In fact, it indicates that cancer is quietly coming.
Four "early warning signs" of stomach cancer
Signal 1: Recurrent abdominal pain, especially upper abdominal distension and discomfort.
Whether it is gastritis or gastric ulcer, there are symptoms of epigastric discomfort, fullness, and vomiting at the onset of the disease.
The fullness mentioned here is not the feeling of bloating caused by eating more meals in our daily life. Rather, after eating a small amount, there will be a feeling of fullness, which is called early satiety.
Signal 2: Heartburn, acid reflux, recurring.
Heartburn is a burning sensation in the fossa of the heart; Acid reflux refers to the reflux of some foods down the esophagus into the throat after eating, giving them a sour or bitter taste.
Signal 3: Decreased food intake and weight loss.
Stomach cancer not only affects appetite and normal eating, but also causes abnormal nutrient metabolism and the patient experiences weight loss in a short period of time.
Signal 4: Bleeding or black stool.
When tumors damage the gastric mucosa, they can cause gastrointestinal bleeding. If the blood vessels invaded are larger, the bleeding rate is rapid, causing hematemesis and melena.
Doctors remind: Gastric cancer often has no specific symptoms in the early stage, and when it occurs, it is similar to gastritis, gastric ulcer and other diseases, and it is easy to be ignored. The diagnosis is often in the middle and advanced stages, and the opportunity for surgery is missed. Remind everyone to go to the hospital for gastroscopy in time when there is discomfort in the stomach.
