Overview
Gastric cancer secondary prevention is indicated for all patients after gastric surgeries. Physical examination, complete blood count, imaging or endoscopy are indicated to decrease levels of recurrence.
Secondary prevention
- History and physical examination every three to six months for years 1 to 2, every 6 to 12 months for years 3 to 5, and then annually.[1]
- Monitor for nutritional deficiency in patients with a history of surgical resection and treat as indicated.[2]
- During a median follow-up of 27 months, synchronous cancers which occur within one year of endoscopic resection or metachronous cancers which occur after one year were detected in 14 percents, and local recurrence was detected in 0.4 percent.?
