| | Stomach cancer |
| | Diagnosis of stomach cancers should be conducted carefully so that if the tumor does not require treatment the patient is not subjected to a surgical operation. | | | Staging of stomach cancer is based on how deep the growth has penetrated the stomach lining; to what extent (if any) it has invaded surrounding lymph nodes; and to what extent (if any) it has spread to distant parts of the body (metastasized). | | | In the early stages of stomach cancer, surgery may be used to remove the cancer. |

| | Stomach cancer |
| | The risk of stomach cancer may increase in people who have had part of their stomach and the opening to the small intestine (pyloric valve) removed — usually as a treatment for peptic ulcers. | | | In the early stages of stomach cancer, pain is often masked by food or acid-buffering medications. | | | This is a study that's used to test new forms of therapy — typically new drugs, different approaches to surgery or radiation treatments, and novel methods such as gene therapy. |

| | Stomach cancer is very common in Japan and the Japanese have developed an intensive and effective approach to screening for stomach cancer. | | | During a gastroscopy, the doctor examines the inside of the stomach using a camera attached to a flexible tube and is able to take a sample from the tumour for biopsy and microscopy. | | | This can progress to a sensation of vague discomfort followed by pain if the tumour grows through the stomach wall. |
