Stomach cancer, also called gastric cancer, begins in the mucus-producing cells that line the stomach. It can then spread to other layers of stomach wall, regional lymph nodes and other parts of body, most commonly the liver or the other organs in abdomen. It can affect any part of the stomach. Commonly it originates in the body of stomach or at the junction of esophagus and stomach. Signs and symptoms of stomach cancer may include difficulty swallowing, bloating after food, excessive heartburn or unintentional weight loss. Smoking, obesity and long standing inflammation (gastritis) are associated with gastric cancer. Treatment options for stomach cancer depend on the cancer's location, stage and aggressiveness. Since surgery remains the single most important aspect of treatment of gastric cancer patient, we ensure high standards. A good D2 Gastrectomy (radical gastrectomy, total gastrectomy) i.e. removal of stomach and surrounding lymph nodes carrying the disease lays the foundation for effective treatment of this disease.Sometimes subtotal gastrectomy may be an option if the stomach cancer is located in the part of the stomach nearest the small intestine. It can be done by laparoscopic route. With laparoscopic approach, better and quicker recovery of patient and excellent tumor removal is ensured in experienced hands. Learn More »

The life expectancy for someone with stomach cancer can vary significantly depending on factors such as the stage at diagnosis, the effectiveness of treatment, and individual’s health. On average, if detected early and treated aggressively, survival rates can be improved. However, in advanced cases, prognosis is poorer, with most patients surviving only a few months.
In general, fourth-stage stomach cancer is considered advanced and difficult to cure. Treatment options primarily focus on managing symptoms, improving quality of life, and extending survival time rather than achieving a complete cure. However, advancements in medical research and personalized treatments may offer some patients improved outcomes and longer survival.
Stomach cancer, also known as gastric cancer, is a cancer that originates in the cells lining the stomach. It can develop in any part of the stomach and may spread to nearby organs or lymph nodes. Stomach cancer often progresses slowly and may not cause symptoms in its early stages, making it challenging to diagnose. Risk factors include age, gender, diet, smoking, family history, and certain medical conditions such as chronic gastritis or Helicobacter pylori infection.
Symptoms of stomach cancer can vary, but common signs include persistent abdominal pain or discomfort, unintended weight loss, loss of appetite, difficulty swallowing, nausea or vomiting (especially vomiting blood), feeling full or bloated after eating small amounts, and fatigue. However, it is important to note that stomach cancer may not cause symptoms in its early stages, and symptoms can mimic those of other less serious conditions.
Advanced treatments for advanced-stage stomach cancer typically include a combination of surgery, chemotherapy, targeted therapy, immunotherapy, and radiation therapy. Depending on the individual's condition and the specifics of the cancer, these treatments may be used alone or in combination to manage symptoms, slow the progression of the disease, and improve quality of life.
Stomach cancer is typically treated by a multidisciplinary team of healthcare professionals, including gastroenterologists, oncologists (medical, surgical, or radiation), surgeons specializing in gastrointestinal surgery, radiologists, pathologists, and specialized nurses. This collaborative approach ensures that patients receive comprehensive care tailored to their individual needs and the specifics of their condition.
