Stomach Cancer Treatment

In Gurugram, Haryana

Stomach cancer develops in the stomach lining and can affect digestion with time. It usually grows slowly and might not show strong symptoms at first. You might confuse early signs with common digestive issues like gas or acidity. Because of this, the diagnosis might get delayed. As the cancer grows, it begins to affect your appetite and overall health. Early attention to persistent symptoms can help detect the condition in time and start treatment early.

Symptoms
Symptoms often begin with mild digestive discomfort. You might feel bloated after meals or feel full quickly, even when you have not eaten much. You might even experience frequent indigestion or stomach pain. Loss of appetite and gradual weight loss are common signs. Nausea or vomiting might also occur. In some cases, there might be blood in vomit or stools. Weaknesses and tiredness might increase with time. These symptoms should not be ignored if they continue.

Causes
Stomach cancer occurs when stomach cells grow abnormally due to changes in the DNA. The exact cause is not always clear. But infection with H pylori bacteria is a major factor. Smoking, an unhealthy diet, and long-term stomach inflammation might also increase the chance. Family history and certain medical conditions can contribute as well.

Diagnosis
Your doctors begin with a discussion about symptoms. An endoscopy is usually done to examine the stomach. If needed, a biopsy is performed to confirm cancer. Imaging tests, such as a CT scan, help determine the stage and spread.

Treatment
Treatment might include surgery, chemotherapy, or radiation therapy, depending on the stage of cancer. Surgery is used when the tumor can be removed. Other treatments also help control the disease and reduce symptoms. MOC Cancer Care Center in Gurgaon offers advanced treatment by skilled experts and modern facilities.
