Stomach Cancer Diagnosis & Prevention
Gastric cancer, also known as stomach cancer, is defined by the uncontrolled growth of cancer cells in the stomach. Anywhere in your stomach can develop cancer. The majority of stomach cancer instances in the United States involve abnormal cell growth at the junction of your esophagus and the stomach (gastroesophageal junction). The main portion of your stomach typically develops cancer in other countries where gastric cancer is more prevalent. Stomach cancer typically develops slowly and begins in the stomach lining around 95% of the time. If left untreated, it may expand deeper into your stomach walls and create a lump (cancer). Your pancreas and liver, two adjacent organs, could become infected by the tumor.

Massive Transfusion Protocol
Massive Transfusion Protocol (MTP) is a standardized medical procedure activated in cases of severe hemorrhage, typically involving the rapid administration of large volumes of blood products. The goal is to restore circulating volume, maintain hemostasis, and prevent the lethal triad of hypothermia, acidosis, and coagulopathy. MTP usually involves a balanced ratio of packed red blood cells, plasma, and platelets, often in a 1:1:1 ratio. Early activation and coordination among trauma teams, laboratory services, and blood banks are essential for its success.
