The following year, Lao Zheng follow the doctor's advice, adhere to exercise every day, COPD symptoms have eased. Not long ago, Lao Zheng Ruoyao find director to review gastroscopy.
Yinzhou Second Hospital, Department of Gastroenterology fifteen ward Director Hong Jie Min: "The gastroscopy review I found that his cardia had the original diameter of about 1.5 cm mass has increased to 2.5 cm or so, but also found in the antrum of the anterior wall of the atrophy mucosal area An early cancer of more than 3 cm in diameter must be hospitalized for further treatment.
