Mentioning that stomach cancer treatments are planned with a multidisciplinary approach, Kar said, “The patients who are diagnosed at an early stage are lucky to have surgery. During gastric surgery, which takes approximately 2-5 hours, most or all of the stomach is removed. After gastric surgery, patients must remain under the supervision of a regular physician. The patient should arrange the nutrition program and form as recommended by the experts. Surgery is not recommended for patients with advanced diagnosis. That’s why early detection is life-saving in gastric cancer. Stomach cancer often presents in the late stage. For this reason, advanced stages are reached when the majority of patients are caught. If it is diagnosed early, complete recovery can be achieved. Therefore, social awareness is very valuable in the prevention and treatment of stomach cancer. It is very valuable in early diagnosis to be audited at regular intervals and to have an endoscopy.” spoke in.
