For gastric cancer patients, it is advisable to consume light, easily digestible foods—such as millet porridge and pumpkin porridge—and to increase intake of high-protein foods, including fish, eggs, and milk. Additionally, fresh fruits and green vegetables—such as apples, spinach, and celery—are beneficial, as they help enhance nutritional status and boost the patient’s immune function. Furthermore, patients must actively undergo treatment under the guidance of their physician; maintaining a positive mindset during treatment can also contribute to improved clinical outcomes.
