Hello, carcinoma in situ of gastric cancer is generally very difficult to cure completely. Even after surgical resection for early-stage gastric cancer, recurrence remains common. Therefore, early detection and prompt treatment are crucial. Gastric cancer is one of the malignant tumors of the gastrointestinal tract. During treatment, close monitoring of bodily changes is essential to prevent disease progression and avoid adverse outcomes.
