Patient's Query
Hello doctor,
My scan report reveals:
The study reveals circumferential asymmetrical wall thickening of the pyloric antrum of the stomach extending up to the first part of the duodenum. The wall thickening is for a length of about 4.7 inches. The maximum wall thickness is about 0.7 inches in the posterior wall. There is a luminal narrowing with proximal gastric dilation. There is an anterior gastrojejunostomy. The thickening is extending along the greater curvature up to the anastomotic site. There is perigastric and omental gat stranding. Adjacent peritoneal thickening is seen.
There is a loss of the fat plane between the lesion and the gallbladder. There is infiltration with abnormal mucosal enhancement of the gall bladder.
Impression:
Malignant wall thickening of the pyloric antrum of the stomach extending along the greater curvature of the 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.
Kindly suggest.
Thank you.
Hi,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
The report suggests that there is a malignant (cancerous) growth in the stomach that has metastasized to the gallbladder as well as spread to the anastomotic (joining) site of the stomach and jejunum (attachment removed to protect the patient's identity). Omentum (fatty tissue around the stomach) is also involved.
As compared to the previous CT (computed tomography) scan report, the growth has increased and infiltrated deeper layers of the stomach wall.
You had undergone surgery treatment for cancer, a round of radiation therapy, and chemotherapy. Radiation therapy uses high-energy rays to destroy cancer cells. The symptoms of 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.
I hope this information will help you.
Kindly follow up if you have more concerns.
Thank you.
