How long does it take for the symptoms of a malignant stomach ulcer to heal

Malignant gastric ulcers generally refer to gastric cancer in peptic ulcers. How soon symptoms improve depends on the patient's specific situation.

1. Treatable conditions

1. Early stage: If the patient's condition is relatively mild and there are no obvious uncomfortable symptoms, it can be treated by surgery, and it is also necessary to cooperate with radiotherapy and chemotherapy to improve the condition after surgery. Usually, after actively cooperating with the doctor's treatment, it may take about 2-3 months to gradually recover.

2. Medium-stage: If it is an intermediate or advanced gastric cancer, metastasis and spread have already occurred at this time, and the goal of radical cure cannot be achieved by surgical resection of the lesion. Under the guidance of doctors, oxaliplatin injection, capecitabine tablets and other drugs can be used for targeted therapy, or they can go to regular hospitals in time for combined treatment through radiotherapy and other methods, so as to inhibit cell growth and control the development of the disease. With aggressive and effective treatment, the 5-year survival rate may reach 40% to 60%.

2. Conditions that cannot be cured

If the patient is in poor physical condition or is in the advanced stage of the disease, even with active and effective treatment, there is a possibility that the life expectancy will be shortened due to the decline of physical function, and this condition cannot be cured.

It is recommended that patients maintain a good attitude, avoid being overly emotional, and also pay attention to a healthy diet and eat more light and easy-to-digest foods, such as millet porridge, yam porridge, etc. At the same time, it is also necessary to go to the hospital regularly for follow-up check-ups and keep an eye on the latest status of the disease.
