Stomach Cancer

What is stomach cancer?

Stomach cancer is a cancer-like disease that occurs in the stomach. It originates from the mucosal epithelial cells on the surface of the gastric wall. It can occur in various parts of the stomach (the antrum-pylorus area is the most common, the gastric cardia area is the second, and the gastric body is slightly less common). Can invade different depths and breadths of the gastric wall. According to the 2020 global cancer statistics released by the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC), the incidence of gastric cancer ranks in the top 5 of all cancers, accounting for 5.6%, which greatly threatens human health.

So can middle and late-staged stomach cancer be treated? Minimally invasive techniques with less side effects and less trauma can help gastric cancer patients avoid surgical resection, avoid the pain of traditional radiotherapy and chemotherapy, effectively prolong survival and improve quality of life.

Patient Stories

: Fei Fei; Indonesia Cervical cancer; Treatment programs: Interventional Therapy; Description: "I believe in God and be grateful for everything, even cancer. Since this is a necessary trial in my life, I choose to be optimistic. I have cancer, but cancer has not defeated me." Fei Fei in treatment There will inevitably be setbacks in life In October 2016, I was diagnosed with stage ⅠB cervical cancer during a random physical examination. I normally enjoy exercise and have a regular daily routine, but I had "won the lottery" so I was unprepared for the unexpected news, and I was upset and scared, but I still believed that there was a way out. local doctor advised me to have immediate surgery to prevent my condition from getting worse, but I had already signed up for the Cuban marathon at the time and decided to wait until after the race was over. After the competition I was checked again in a hospital in Singapore, the result showed 4B cervical cancer and the advice given by the doctors was chemotherapy, considering that the side effects of chemotherapy would affect my quality of

: Wei Ji; Indonesia Cervical cancer; Treatment programs: Interventional therapy + Natural therapy; Description: In May 2023, Wei Ji (pseudonym), who had stage III cervical cancer, relapsed one month after surgery and came to our hospital (St. Stamford Modern Cancer Hospital Guangzhou) to seek better treatment methods, hoping to improve treatment hope.

: Edoharidwi Doko; Indonesia Cervical cancer; Treatment programs: Interventional therapy + Natural therapy; Description: Edoharidwi Doko from Surabaya, Indonesia, was diagnosed with stage IIIB cervical cancer in 2022. After undergoing radiotherapy and chemotherapy, the cancer recurred and metastasized to the abdominal cavity. Following minimally invasive treatment at St. Stamford Modern Cancer Hospital Guangzhou, her physical discomfort has significantly decreased, the abdominal tumor has disappeared, and her quality of life has improved.

: Diana Kartika Arma; Indonesia Cervical cancer; Treatment programs:; Description: Diana Kartika Arma, 57, from Jakarta, Indonesia, suffered abnormal vaginal bleeding in November 2021. After examination, she was diagnosed with stage IB2 of cervical cancer and her weight lost 8kg. In October 2024, the 1.5x1.2x2.9 cm tumor and vaginal bleeding symptoms "completely disappeared" after treatment. Currently, her sleep, appetite, weight and life quality have been improved.

Stomach Cancer Symptoms

Classification of Stomach Cancer

According to the location of stomach cancer, stomach cancer can be divided into gastric cardia cancer, gastric cancer, gastric antrum cancer, etc. According to pathological classification, it can be divided into early gastric cancer and advanced gastric cancer; according to histological classification, it can be divided into papillary adenocarcinoma, tubular adenocarcinoma, poorly differentiated adenocarcinoma, signet ring cell carcinoma, mucosal adenocarcinoma, hard cancer, non-carcinoma and mixed cancer.

Stomach Cancer Diagnosis

Treatment for Stomach Cancer

•Traditional Anti-cancer Technology

Surgical resection: Big Trauma, high risk, easy to have complications, great damage to patients’ gastrointestinal function and lower their life quality. It is only suggested for early stage stomach cancer patients.

Radiation and Chemotherapy: Chemotherapy kills normal cells while killing cancer cells, resulting in damage to the immune system, and has toxic side effects such as: hair loss, vomiting, etc. It is not suitable for advanced stomach cancer patients.

•New Treatment Options for Stomach Cancer Patients-- Minimally Invasive Technology

Minimally Invasive Therapy: 2-3 mm incision, few side effects, little pain

Interventional therapy: with a 1-2 millimeter incision, anti-cancer drugs are directly given to the tumor, causing fewer side effects and drug concentration is 2-8 times higher than systemic chemotherapy, killing cancer cells more accurately.

Photodynamic therapy: when photosensitizer is exposed to a specific wavelength of light, they produce a form of oxygen that kills nearby cells. It functions quickly (in 48 to 72 hours) with less pain, lower recurrence rate, and is suitable for weak or advanced patients.

Gene Targeted therapy: killing cancer cells from their roots, gene-targeted therapy is the most radical anticancer treatment. Compared with traditional therapies, gene-targeted therapy is more accurate, more effective and safer.

TCM & Western Medicine: Combination of traditional Chinese medicine and minimally invasive techniques can not only kill the cancer cells effectively, but also reduce toxic side effects, lower the rate of cancer recurrence, and greatly improve survival rate.

Green Chemotherapy: Improved from traditional chemotherapy, green chemotherapy, avoiding the disadvantage of systematic chemotherapy, greatly improving curative effect and reducing toxic side effects, is a new generation of chemical weapons that kills tumors.

Natural Therapy: No harm, no pain and no hospitalization. Natural therapy can reduce the toxic side effects causing by radiation and chemotherapy and can improve the quality of life of stomach cancer patients and it is applicable to all cancer patients.

Stomach Cancer Staging

How long can a stomach cancer patient live with stomach cancer? American Cancer Society provides an update of 5-year relative survival statistics based on stomach cancer stages and it’s as follow:

Stomach Cancer Stage I: 88%--94%;

Stomach Cancer Stage II: 68%--82%;

Stomach Cancer Stage III: 18%--54%;

Stomach Cancer Stage IV: below 18%.

Timely and effective treatment is the important factors to improve the 5-year relative survival rate of stomach cancer. Minimally invasive therapy featuring smaller traumas, fewer side effects, and good efficacy, prevents stomach cancer patients from surgical resection and side effects of radiotherapy and chemotherapy.
