Stomach Cancer

What is Stomach Cancer?
Stomach cancer — also known as gastric cancer — occurs when cells in the stomach grow abnormally. Eventually these cells become a tumor that can spread elsewhere in the body if not treated. Although the exact cause isn't always clear, a poor diet, smoking, infections — including Helicobacter pylori, and family history can raise your risk. Most of the time, stomach cancer develops slowly and it can go unrecognized in the early stages.

Why Do People Need Treatment?
It is important to treat stomach cancer in order to restrict the growth of the tumor and block it from spreading into other organs. When caught early, treatment can remove or shrink the cancer, improving the odds of recovery. Treatment is sometimes given after surgery to kill any cancer cells that may be left. And later on, treatment can help ease symptoms such as pain, difficulty eating or bleeding. Receiving the appropriate treatment in a timely fashion has the potential to enhance both survival and quality of life.

How Does Treatment Work?
Doctors carefully evaluate the stage of the cancer with tests like endoscopy, biopsy, CT or MRI scans. The treatment plan is then tailored to you. Surgery is typically the primary treatment as a means of resecting part or all of the stomach. Chemotherapy, radiation therapy, targeted therapy or immunotherapy is sometimes combined with surgery to help treatment work better. Each plan is designed to target the cancer while safeguarding healthy parts of the body.

What Happens During the Treatment?
Hospitals stays for surgery in the case of an abdomen cancer – or outpatient visits if chemotherapy or radiation is administered – may be part of a patient’s care. With surgery, the doctors take out the tumor and tissues nearby. Chemotherapy and radiation are generally done in cycles, with treatment given for a few days or weeks followed by rest before the next round. You are told about each treatment in advance, and doctors and nurses work to keep you comfortable.

What Are the Side Effects?
Side effects vary according to the therapy used. Pain, fatigue, or differences in the way your body digests food can result from surgery. Chemotherapy and radiation could cause nausea, appetite loss, changes in skin color or hair thinning. Some may also feel weak or lose weight. These side effects usually get better after treatment ends. Medications, dietary advice and supportive care are given to you by doctors and nurses so you can recover from and cope with these problems.

Life After Stomach Cancer Treatment
Recovery is a process that can take time, but most people return to their family and work and begin to enjoy life again after treatment. Eating smaller, more nutritious meals and heeding your doctor’s instructions can facilitate the process of digestion. It's important to have regular follow-ups to see if the cancer has gone away or returned. With careful attention to health, strength and healthy lifestyle these patients often feel better and maintain a sense of hope following treatment.
