Treatment
Stomach cancer: Treatment depends on the stage of the disease, the location of the tumor, and the patient’s overall health. Treatment options include:
Surgery: Partial or total removal of the stomach (gastrectomy) to remove the tumor.
Chemotherapy: The use of drugs to destroy cancer cells, often used before or after surgery.
Radiotherapy: Use of radiation to destroy cancer cells or shrink tumors.
Targeted therapies: Treatments that specifically target cancer cells with less impact on healthy cells.
Each case is unique and the treatment plan must be personalized by the oncologist to meet the patient’s specific needs.
Stomach cancer is a serious disease that requires special care and attention. Identifying symptoms early and understanding risk factors can have a significant impact on prognosis. If you think you may be at risk, don’t hesitate to consult a doctor. Prevention and early treatment are the best ways to combat this disease.
