Surgery: The goal of surgery is to remove all of the stomach cancer and a margin of healthy tissue, when possible. Options include:
Removing a Portion of the Stomach (Subtotal Gastrectomy).
During subtotal Gastrectomy, the surgeon removes only the portion of the stomach affected by cancer.
Subtotal gastrectomy can be of two types.
Distal subtotal gastrectomy is performed
if the tumor cells are present in the lower part of the stomach near to
the stomach duodenum junction.
Proximal subtotal gastrectomy is done
when the tumor is situated in the upper part of the stomach and also
involves the esophagus.
Removing the Entire Stomach (Total
Gastrectomy). Total Gastrectomy involves removing the entire stomach and
some surrounding tissue. The esophagus is then connected directly to
the small intestine to allow food to move through your digestive system.
Removing Lymph nodes to look for Cancer. The surgeon examines and removes lymph nodes in your abdomen to look for cancer cells.
Chemotherapy: Chemotherapy drugs travel throughout your body, killing cancer cells that may have spread beyond the stomach.
Radiation therapy: Radiation therapy can
be administered using a machine outside the body or using needles,
seeds, wires, or catheters placed in the body in or near the cancer.
