Gastric Cancer
Early stage symptoms can be vague and are similar to stomach ulcers with indigestion, a feeling of fullness and mild discomfort. Anaemia related chronic blood loss and weight loss is also common.
Surgical Treatment – partial/total gastrectomy
Surgery is the best treatment for this type of cancer. The extent of disease will dictate the extent of surgery which may remove only the cancerous lesions, or involve totally removing the stomach creating a join between the oesophagus and jejunum of the small intestine (oesphagojejunostomy).
