Stomach Cancer Treatment

In Karol Bagh, Delhi

Stomach cancer, also known as gastric cancer, develops when abnormal cells grow uncontrollably in the lining of the stomach. It often develops slowly over many years and can go unnoticed in its early stages, which makes awareness of persistent digestive symptoms important.

Symptoms

Common symptoms include indigestion, heartburn, a feeling of fullness after small meals, and abdominal discomfort. As the disease progresses, unexplained weight loss, nausea, vomiting, difficulty swallowing, and blood in the stool may occur.

Causes

Risk factors include infection with Helicobacter pylori bacteria, a diet high in smoked or salted foods, smoking, family history, chronic stomach inflammation, and certain inherited genetic conditions.

Diagnosis

Diagnosis typically involves an upper endoscopy with biopsy to examine the stomach lining directly, along with imaging tests such as CT scan to assess the extent of disease.

Treatment

Treatment options include surgery, chemotherapy, radiation therapy, targeted therapy, and immunotherapy, depending on the stage of disease. M|O|C Cancer Care Center in Karol Bagh, Delhi, offers thorough evaluation and personalised treatment plans for stomach cancer patients.
