Surgery
Cancer can be effectively treated with surgery. Surgery is an invasive technique used to remove malignant cells. The purpose of surgery varies from patient to patient. Sometimes, when the cancer has spread throughout the stomach, surgery is not the most effective method for removing the cancer, but can be conducted to alleviate pain and improve stomach function.
Cancer eradication: After an early cancer diagnosis, cancer removal surgery is straightforward and yields the best results. With the aid of an endoscope, the tumor and surrounding tissue can be removed before the cancer spreads to other nearby areas.
This surgical procedure is used to prevent the spread of malignancy by removing either the upper or lower portion of the stomach. There are efforts made to preserve as much normal area as feasible. The remainder of the stomach is reattached to the remaining organs.
This operation is performed due to the extensive spread of stomach cancer and its invasion of adjacent organs, such as the esophagus, lymph nodes, intestines, and pancreas, among others. The remaining portion of the esophagus is attached to the small intestine. Since the stomach has been removed, there is no food storage site; therefore, patients are instructed to consume very little food.
Despite surgery’s efficacy, it does have certain adverse effects:
