Patient's question:
Patient: Female, 58 years old, previously in good health. This condition was discovered during a hospital check-up for dizziness, where it was found that a tumor had grown on the ileum. The tumor has already been surgically removed.Doctor's answer:
Immunohistochemistry confirmed it as a stromal tumor. According to treatment principles, a stromal tumor only requires a surgical margin of 2cm or more. For a moderate-risk level, subsequent treatment with Gleevec is recommended. If financially feasible, consider taking Gleevec, a molecular targeted drug. If unable to take it, regular follow-up is necessary, approximately every 3 months, to detect any issues early. The occurrence of gynecological tumors not only affects the patient's body but also leads to gynecological diseases. Therefore, it is best to undergo a gynecological examination at the hospital to identify the cause and receive symptomatic treatment. Pay attention to personal hygiene and maintain cleanliness in the perineal area.
