Stomach Cancer
Stomach cancer, also known as gastric cancer, is a type of cancer that starts in the stomach and can spread to other parts of the body. Symptoms of stomach cancer can include abdominal pain, weight loss, appetite loss, nausea, and vomiting. Diagnosis of stomach cancer usually involves endoscopy, imaging tests, and biopsy. Early diagnosis and treatment of stomach cancer can improve the patient’s outcome.
Common Treatment Methods
Stomach cancer is a serious illness that requires prompt diagnosis and treatment. Common treatments for stomach cancer include surgery, chemotherapy, and radiation therapy. Surgery may involve either the removal of a portion of the stomach or the entire stomach. Chemotherapy involves the use of drugs to kill cancer cells. Radiation therapy uses high energy X-rays to destroy cancer cells. In some cases, a combination of treatments may be recommended. It is important to consult with your doctor to determine the best treatment plan for your individual situation.
