Stomach cancer surgery, answered
Stomach cancer, also called gastric cancer, develops when abnormal cells grow in the lining of the stomach. Early diagnosis and treatment can significantly improve outcomes.
For many patients with localized stomach cancer, surgery is a key part of treatment. Depending on the stage of the disease, surgery may be combined with chemotherapy or other therapies.
Surgical options may include partial gastrectomy, total gastrectomy, and removal of nearby lymph nodes. Your surgeon will recommend the most appropriate procedure based on your diagnosis.
Yes. Many patients are candidates for minimally invasive laparoscopic or robotic-assisted surgery, which may result in smaller incisions, less pain, and a faster recovery.
Some patients receive chemotherapy before surgery, after surgery, or both, depending on the stage and characteristics of the cancer. Your treatment plan will be individualized.
Recovery varies depending on the procedure performed and your overall health. Most patients require several weeks to recover and gradually return to normal activities.
Your diet will change after surgery, especially if a large portion or all of the stomach is removed. Our team will provide nutritional guidance to help you adjust and maintain proper nutrition.
Symptoms may include persistent stomach pain, unexplained weight loss, difficulty swallowing, nausea, loss of appetite, feeling full quickly, vomiting, or blood in the stool. These symptoms can also be caused by non-cancerous conditions, so evaluation is important.
Diagnosis may involve an upper endoscopy with biopsy, imaging studies such as CT scans, endoscopic ultrasound, and other specialized tests to determine the stage of the cancer.
