Hello doctor,
My scan report reveals:
The study reveals circumferential asymmetrical wall thickening of pyloric antrum of stomach extending upto first part of duodenum. The wall thickening is for a length of about 12 cm. Maximum wall thickness is about 1.8 cms in the posterior wall. There is a luminal narrowing with proximal gastric dilation. There is anterior gastrojejunostomy. The thickening is extending along the greater curvature up to the anastomotic site. There is perigastic and omental gat stranding. Adjacent peritoneal thickening is seen. There is a loss of fat plane between the lesion and gall bladder. There is infiltrations with abnormal mucosal enhancement of gall bladder.
Impression:
Malignant wall thickening of the pyloric antrum of the stomach extending along the greater curvature of body to the anastomotic site of anterior gastrojejunostomy. Omental and perigastric fat plane thickening suggestive of infiltration. When compared to the last CT study the extent of wall thickening has mildly increased.
Hi,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
The report suggests that there is malignant (cancerous) growth in the stomach that has metastasized to gallbladder as well as spread to anastomotic (joining) site of stomach and jejunum. Omentum (fatty tissue around the stomach) is also involved. As compared to previous CT (computed tomography) scan report the growth has increased and infiltrated deeper layers of the stomach wall.
You had done surgery treatment for cancer and also round of radiation therapy and chemotherapy. Radiation therapy uses high energy rays to destroy cancer cells. The symptoms in stomach cancer may include blood in stools, abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting, loss of appetite and weight and excessive fatigue. In the last stages, depending on the part of the body to which cancer has metastasized (spread), symptoms other than these may appear. It may metastasize to the brain, liver, bones or lungs and may produce associated symptoms.
You strictly follow the advice of your doctor or seek a consultation with a surgical oncologist.
