Hello, for patients with locally advanced or metastatic gastric cancer, the 3-year survival rate is approximately 60% with aggressive treatment, while the 5-year survival rate is around 30%. The key factor is timely and active treatment. Without aggressive intervention, survival for patients with locally advanced or metastatic gastric cancer typically ranges from 3 to 6 months. Therefore, early detection, early diagnosis, and early treatment are critical to achieving cure and long-term survival. Primary treatment modalities for locally advanced or metastatic gastric cancer include chemotherapy, radiotherapy, immunotherapy, targeted drug therapy, biological therapy, and hepatocyte transplantation, among others. We hope this information is helpful to you. Wishing you a happy and healthy life.
