What is Stomach Cancer Surgery?
Stomach cancer surgery, also known as gastric cancer surgery is the surgical procedure which aids stomach cancer and helps in reducing any gastrointestinal or digestive tract disorder or complications. It is also used to treat any inflammation or infection in the stomach or if the bottom portion of the stomach develops tumors that enlarges to the point where they prevent food from exiting. Depending on the patient's complications, the problem can range from mild to severe.
Stomach surgery helps patients lower the risk of various life-threatening problems such as indigestion, gastritis, Crohn’s disease, irritable bowel movement, heartburn, heart disease, stroke, high blood pressure, sleep apnea, and type 2 diabetes.
Many cases of stomach cancer can't be totally treated, but it's still feasible to reduce symptoms and improve quality of life with chemotherapy and in some circumstances radiotherapy and surgery.
