The treatment of stomach cancer involves a multidisciplinary approach and may involve several healthcare professionals, including:

Surgical Oncologists: Surgical oncologists specialize in performing surgical procedures to remove the tumor and surrounding affected tissues. They may perform procedures such as gastrectomy (partial or total removal of the stomach) and lymph node dissection.

Medical Oncologists: Medical oncologists are specialized<

Several technologies and treatment approaches may be used in the management of stomach cancer, including:

Minimally Invasive Surgery: Laparoscopic or robotic-assisted surgery may be utilized to remove the tumor and affected tissues with smaller incisions and faster recovery compared to traditional open surgery.

Chemotherapy: Chemotherapy involves the use of powerful medications to kill cancer cells or stop their growth. It may be administered before surgery (neoadjuvant), after surgery (adjuvant), or as palliative treatment for advanced stages of stomach cancer.

Targeted Therapy: Targeted therapies specifically target certain molecular markers or pathways involved in stomach cancer growth, such as HER2 inhibitors or angiogenesis inhibitors.

Radiation Therapy: Radiation therapy uses high-energy beams to destroy cancer cells or shrink tumors. It may be used before surgery to shrink tumors, after surgery to destroy remaining cancer cells, or as palliative treatment to relieve symptoms.
