Stomach Cancer Treatments
Stomach cancer can be treated in a variety of ways. Some of the most commonly used methods include:
- Surgery
- Chemotherapy
- Radiation therapy
- Biological therapy.
In some cases, the very treatment used for stomach cancer can cause other medical conditions, such as infections, anemia, and dental problems. To reduce your risk of problems, your healthcare provider will go over the pros and cons of each option and explain what to do if side effects occur. Together with your healthcare provider, you can develop a treatment plan that meets your medical needs and personal values.
