| | Gastric cancer - definition of Gastric cancer in Encyclopedia |
 | | Many patients with stomach cancer are treated in clinical trials. | | | Many people who have cancer want to learn all they can about the disease and their treatment choices so they can take an active part in decisions about their medical care. | | | Treatment for stomach cancer may include surgery, chemotherapy, and/or radiation therapy. |

| | Currently, all curative treatments for gastric cancer involve surgery (surgical resection of all of the cancer). | | | This is the basis for the use of radiation therapy in cancer treatment. | | | Once a patient completes treatment for gastric cancer (including surgery +/- radiation and chemotherapy), he or she needs to be closely followed by his or her cancer physicians. |

| | Stomach (Gastric) Cancer |
| | Cancers that have metastasized to distant organs cannot surgically resected with curative intent; however, in certain instances they can be resected for palliative purposes (for example, if they are causing severe obstruction or bleeding uncontrollably). | | | For example, early stage gastric cancers can be cured upwards of 50 percent of the time, whereas cancers which have metastasized to distant organs have a very slim chance of long-term survival (< 3 percent). | | | This staging system is important in guiding treatment decisions and offering prognostic information to the patient. |

| | In one clinical trial, 27 patients with inoperable gastric cancer were treated with chemotherapy and concurrent radiation therapy. | | | It was concluded from this clinical trial that combined chemotherapy and radiation therapy has substantial activity for the local control of advanced gastric cancer. | | | New Chemotherapy Regimens: Development of new multi-drug chemotherapy treatment regimens that incorporate new or additional anti-cancer therapies for use as treatment is an active area of clinical research carried out in phase II clinical trials in patients with stage IV or recurrent gastric cancer. |

| | Disease - Gastric Cancer |
| | It is well known that most gastric cancers occur on a background of changes in the stomach called variously "atrophic gastritis" or "intestinal metaplasia". | | | As an example, if the background lifetime risk in the USA is 0.5%, then persons with HP have about a 1.5-3% chance of developing gastric cancer in their lifetime. | | | A detailed CT scan of the abdomen should be done and any suggestion of spread of the cancer should be followed up by needle biopsy, aspiration or other studies to obtain diagnostic tissue. |

| | Treatment of Gastric Cancer at Mayo Clinic in Rochester |
| | Common treatments for gastric cancer include surgery, radiation and chemotherapy. | | | During surgery, surgeons can determine whether the cancer has penetrated the wall of the stomach or spread to other parts of the body and, thus, whether chemotherapy and radiation are appropriate. | | | Gastric cancer can develop in any part of the stomach. |

| | Omentobursectomy is a fundamental procedure for a correct extensive lymphadenectomy and, in general, for curative surgery for gastric cancer. | | | That dealing with surgical treatment gives consideration to local excision, surgical treatment of benign gastric ulcer, and surgery for palliation. | | | In addition, surgical abstention is not always justified even in patients in whom surgery cannot be curative since a 10% five-year survival rate was observed in patients undergoing palliative resection. |
