Treatment Options

There are a few different options to slow down the growth of gastric cancer, including:

Traditional Therapy
- Radiation therapy uses high energy rays to kill or shrink cancer cells.
- Chemotherapy uses chemicals or drugs to destroy cancer cells.
Targeted Therapy: Targets cells with specific proteins (such as the HER2+ receptors) for treatment.
Surgical Removal: Depending on the cancer location, the surgeon may remove the whole stomach or only the part that has the cancer.
