Gastric cancer treatment is determined by the stage of the disease, the general health of the patient, and the size and spread of the tumor. Stomach cancer treatment options may include:
- Surgery: Removal of the cancerous cell or cells.
- Chemotherapy: Drugs that slow down or destroy the growth of cancer cells.
- Radiotherapy: The destruction of tumor cells by radiation.
- Targeted therapy: Treatment that can be applied to specific parts of cancer cells.
In addition, pain relievers, antiemetics (anti-vomiting drugs) and other supportive treatments can be used to control symptoms during treatment.
Gastric cancer treatment is determined by the type, stage and general health of the disease and is done by a physician. You can contact us for more information about all relevant treatment options and outcomes.
