Treatment for Gastric Carcinoma – Radical Gastrectomy
What is the treatment for gastric carcinoma/radical gastrectomy?
Gastric carcinoma is treated by radical gastrectomy, which is one of the most popular surgical procedures. It includes small early cancer of the upper stomach, localised cancer of the upper stomach, and gastric cancer without metastases.
This procedure involves removing a section of the stomach that has gotten involved with gastric cancer.

There may be no signs early on in gastric cancer instances, but later symptoms like as bloating after eating, loss of appetite, nausea, indigestion, heartburn, and so on may develop. Blood in the stools, vomiting, weight loss, stomach ache, difficulty swallowing food, jaundice, and abnormal fluid buildup in the stomach (a condition known as Ascites) may emerge in the latter stages.

—Partial gastrectomy: this procedure involves removing the cancerous area of the stomach, as well as nearby lymph nodes and other organs.
—Sleeve Gastrectomy: This procedure includes removing the stomach’s left side.
