| | Cancer of the <b>Stomachb> |
 | | Endoscopic ultrasound is a very sensitive study that should be done to determine the depth of invasion of the cancer into the tissues around the <b>stomachb>, as well as evaluation of the local lymph glands. | | | Radiation therapy may be helpful in managing painful or symptomatic areas to which the cancer has spread. | | | In the majority of patients in whom a cure is not possible, survival could vary from months to years, depending on the extent of the cancer and overall condition of the patient, as well as the response to treatment and the duration of the response. |

| | <b>Stomachb> cancer |
| | Diagnosis of <b>stomachb> 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 <b>stomachb> cancer is based on how deep the growth has penetrated the <b>stomachb> 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). | | | <b>Stomachb> cancer (also known as gastric cancer) is a disease in which the cells forming the inner lining of the <b>stomachb> become abnormal and start to divide uncontrollably, forming a mass called a tumor. |

| | This is true for <b>stomachb> cancers as well, though as a group, these cancers are sometimes difficult to detect and always difficult to treat effectively. | | | The adenocarcinomas are cancers that arise in the glandular lining of the <b>stomachb> (the so-called mucosa) and from there they may invade the remainder of the <b>stomachb> wall and/or send distant seedings (metastases) to other organs. | | | <b>Stomachb> or gastric carcinomas spread by growing directly through the gastric wall and may invade by contiguity or metastases nearby organs such as the liver, bowel, pancreas or the lining of the abdominal cavity (the peritoneum). |
