Stomach Cancer Treatment in India

Stomach cancer is cancer that occurs in the stomach the muscular sac located in the upper middle of your abdomen, just below your ribs. Your stomach receives and holds the food you eat and then helps to break down and digest it. Another term for stomach cancer is gastric cancer. These two terms most often refer to stomach cancer that begins in the mucus-producing cells on the inside lining of the stomach (adenocarcinoma).

The Symptoms of Stomach Cancer are:

Discomfort in the upper or middle part of the abdomen. Blood in the stool (which appears as black, tarry stools) Vomiting which may have blood in it. Weight loss. Pain or bloating in the stomach after eating.

Types of Stomach Cancer

Adenocarcinoma of the Stomach: Adenocarcinoma is the most common type of stomach cancer. More than 95 out of every 100 stomach cancers (95%) diagnosed are adenocarcinomas. The cancer starts in the gland cells in the stomach lining. Squamous Cell Cancers: Squamous cells are the skin like cells that lie between gland cells to make the stomach lining. These cancers are treated in the same way as adenocarcinomas. Gastrointestinal Stromal Tumour (GIST): GISTs can be cancerous or non cancerous (benign). Most are found in the stomach.

Neuroendocrine Tumours: Neuroendocrine tumours (NETs) can be cancerous or non cancerous. They grow in hormone producing tissues, usually in the digestive system.

How are Stomach Cancer Diagnosed?

Blood Chemistry Studies :A procedure in which a blood sample is checked to measure the amounts of certain substances released into the blood by organs and tissues in the body. Upper Endoscopy :A procedure to look inside the esophagus, stomach, and duodenum (first part of the small intestine) to check for abnormal areas. Barium Swallow :A series of x-rays of the esophagus and stomach. The patient drinks a liquid that contains barium (a silver-white metallic compound). The liquid coats the esophagus and stomach and x-rays are taken. This procedure is also called an upper GI series. Biopsy :The removal of cells or tissues so they can be viewed under a microscope to check for signs of cancer. A biopsy of the stomach is usually done during the endoscopy.

Treatment of Stomach Cancer at World Class Hospitals in India

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.

Highly Advanced Laparoscopic Gastrectomy for Stomach Cancer at World Class Hospitals in India
Keyhole surgery is also called minimal access surgery or laparoscopic surgery.It means having an operation without needing a major incision (wound site). The surgeon uses an instrument that is a bit like a bendy telescope (laparoscope). The laparoscope is connected to a fibre optic camera that shows pictures of the inside of the body on a video screen. The laparoscope also has small instruments that fit down the tube. The surgeon can manipulate these and watch what they are doing on the screen. Normally, the surgeon has to use more than one entry site and you have a few small wounds, each an inch or so long. It is possible for an experienced surgeon to remove the whole of your stomach, or part of it, using laparoscopic surgery. Some trials have shown that laparoscopic surgery is less traumatic than a single large wound and recovery time may be quicker.
