Treatment options depend on the stage of the disease, the tumor type, and the patient’s general health. Treatment options may include:
Surgery: Surgical treatment may involve removing part or all of the stomach and surrounding tissue if the tumor is in an early stage.
Radiation therapy: Radiation may be used to shrink the tumor before or after surgery.
Chemotherapy: Chemotherapy drugs are used to treat stomach cancer and may be used alone or in combination with surgery or radiation.
Antibiotics (targeted therapy): These drugs specifically target tumor cells without affecting healthy cells.
Hormone therapy: In some cases, hormones can be used to treat stomach cancer.
Treatment of vascular diseases: In the case of a tumor that severely affects the blood vessels, treatments can be used that target these blood vessels.
