Stomach Cancer Treatment
Stomach cancer, also known as gastric cancer, is a condition where malignant cells grow uncontrollably in the stomach. In the United States, most cases involve the gastroesophageal junction, the area where the stomach and esophagus meet. The majority of stomach cancer typically begins in the lining of the stomach (approximately 95% of cases) and develops slowly. If left untreated, it can spread into the stomach walls and form a tumor. This tumor can then affect neighboring organs, such as the liver and pancreas. However, with Universelle Medicaid, you can be assured of the best treatment options for stomach cancer.
Signs and Symptoms of Stomach Cancer
Stomach cancer often doesn't show symptoms in its early stages. Common signs may not appear until the disease has progressed. Symptoms can include:
-
Loss of appetite -
Difficulty swallowing
-
Weakness or fatigue
-
Vomiting and nausea
-
Unexplained weight loss
-
Dyspepsia and diarrhea
-
Internal bleeding or black stools
-
Stomach bloating after eating
-
Stomach pain, particularly above the belly button
-
Feeling full after eating a small meal
While these symptoms can also be associated with other conditions, it's important to consult with your doctor at Universelle Medicaid to determine if they could indicate stomach cancer.
Stomach Cancer Treatment Options
The treatment for stomach cancer depends on the stage of the disease, the patient's health, and personal treatment preferences. Typically, treatment involves a multidisciplinary team, including your general physician, an oncologist, and a gastroenterologist. Treatment options may include:
-
Surgery:Depending on the extent of the cancer, surgery may be recommended to remove precancerous cells, a tumor, or even part or all of the stomach.
-
Upper Endoscopy: This procedure allows the removal of early-stage stomach cancer that has only affected the surface layers of the stomach. The gastroenterologist uses an endoscope to remove the cancerous cells.
-
Gastrectomy:For more advanced stages where the cancer has spread beyond the surface, surgery may involve the removal of all or part of the stomach. A subtotal gastrectomy removes part of the stomach, while a total gastrectomy removes the entire stomach. After a total gastrectomy, the esophagus is connected to the small intestine to allow for digestion.
These procedures are essential for treating stomach cancer and, fortunately, the treatment cost in India is affordable.
Post-Operative Care for Stomach Cancer
After prostate cancer treatment, follow-up appointments are critical. While you may be anxious about these visits, they provide an opportunity to discuss your health status and any concerns you may have. Your doctor may run additional tests to monitor your recovery and check for signs of recurrence. These appointments help you stay informed about your health, improving your ability to manage the condition effectively.
Prostate Cancer Treatment in India
Chemotherapy is often used for patients who did not receive it before surgery or may be recommended after surgery. Chemotherapy uses medication to destroy cancer cells.
Post-surgery, patients are advised to consume only small amounts of food as they recover. The surgery may be painful, sometimes extremely so, and vitamin injections can be used to help alleviate discomfort. It is also recommended to take a break from daily activities to allow for proper recovery.
Patients should avoid heavy lifting or strenuous activity during their recovery. Regular follow-up visits will include physical exams, blood tests, and scans to check the effectiveness of the treatment. Monitoring the patient's health is crucial to ensure the best possible outcome.

The cost of stomach cancer treatment in India begins at USD 5,000, which is significantly lower compared to many other countries. In India, stomach cancer treatment has an 85% success rate, making it a popular destination for medical tourism.
