Stomach Cancer Treatment
Stomach cancer treatment depends on the cancer stage, location, and overall health of the patient. Common treatments include surgery (such as gastrectomy), chemotherapy, radiation therapy, targeted therapy, and immunotherapy. A combination of these approaches is often used to improve outcomes.
Partial Gastrectomy - Surgical removal of the cancerous part of the stomach, often used when the tumor is located in a specific section.
Total Gastrectomy - Complete removal of the stomach, typically performed when the cancer has spread throughout the stomach.
Endoscopic Mucosal Resection (EMR) - A minimally invasive procedure to remove small, early-stage tumors from the stomach lining using an endoscope.
Chemotherapy / Targeted Therapy / Immunotherapy - This is a systemic treatment that involves the intravenous administration of medicines that target specific type of cancer cells.
Radiation Therapy - This involves the delivery of external radiation, usually 25 to 30 sessions, to kill the residual cancer cells.
Diagnosis begins with a physical exam and medical history review, followed by imaging tests like CT scans, endoscopy, or MRI to detect abnormalities. A biopsy, typically performed during an endoscopy, confirms the diagnosis. Blood tests may also help assess tumor markers and overall health before treatment.
