Gastric cancer patients should consume easily digestible foods that strengthen the spleen and stomach. The most common such food is Chinese yam (Dioscorea opposita), followed by carrots, tomatoes, leafy green vegetables, and others. These foods can enhance immunity, replenish energy, and support anti-cancer effects. Gastric cancer patients must adopt the habit of eating small, frequent meals. For those who have recently undergone surgery, a liquid or semi-liquid diet is recommended.
