Stomach cancer, also known as gastric cancer, is a malignant disease that originates in the lining of the stomach. While the precise cause remains under investigation, certain risk factors have been identified such as infection with Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) and smoking. Other risk factors include chronic stomach problems like polyps or gastritis, a family history of stomach cancer, or a genetic condition such as Li-Fraumeni syndrome, familial adenomatous polyposis (FAP), or Lynch syndrome.
In Bangalore, the prevalence of stomach cancer is noticeable due to lifestyle habits such as smoking and diet. Having some of the best stomach cancer doctors and surgeons in India, Apollo Hospitals in Bangalore are well-equipped to handle diagnosis and treatment.
Types/Stages of Stomach Cancer
The two primary types of stomach cancers are:
-
Gastric Adenocarcinoma: This is the most common type of stomach cancer accounting for 90-95% of all cases. It begins in the mucus-producing cells on the inside lining of the stomach.
-
Gastrointestinal Stromal Tumours (GIST): These are rare tumours that start in special cells found in the wall of the stomach called interstitial cells of Cajal. GISTs can be found anywhere in the digestive tract.
Symptoms of Stomach Cancer
Individuals with stomach cancer may experience several symptoms including:
-
Persistent heartburn or abdominal pain
-
Unexplained weight loss
-
Fatigue
-
Blood presence in vomit or black stools indicating internal bleeding
-
Difficulty swallowing
Tests to Diagnose Stomach Cancer
To diagnose stomach cancer, the best doctors for stomach cancer may recommend the following tests:
-
Upper Endoscopy: A thin tube with a camera is inserted down the throat to examine the stomach.
-
Biopsy: Tissue sample from the stomach is examined under a microscope to identify cancer cells.
-
Imaging Tests: Tests such as CT scans, MRI, and PET scans can help visualise the extent of the cancer.
-
Blood Tests: These can identify if there is an infection with H. pylori, a common risk factor for stomach cancer.
Treatment or Surgery Options for Stomach Cancer at Apollo Hospitals in Bangalore
At Apollo Hospitals in Bangalore, a team of specialists offers comprehensive treatment options for stomach cancer:
-
Surgery: This involves removing part or all of the stomach depending on the stage and extent of the disease. Surgical options include endoscopic mucosal resection, subtotal gastrectomy, and total gastrectomy.
-
Chemotherapy: Powerful drugs are used to kill rapidly growing cancer cells either before or after surgery.
-
Radiation Therapy: High-energy beams are used to kill cancer cells. It may be used before surgery to shrink the tumours or after to kill any remaining cells.
-
Targeted Therapies: This newer form of treatment targets specific abnormalities present in cancer cells.
-
Immunotherapy: This boosts the body's immune system to fight against cancer cells.
