Introduction to Stomach Cancer

Welcome to Livasa Hospitals' dedicated page on stomach cancer treatment at our Hoshiarpur center. Stomach cancer, also known as gastric cancer, ranks among the serious types of cancers that affect numerous individuals each year. It begins when cancer cells form in the inner lining of the stomach, eventually growing into a tumor. Globally, it is the fifth most common cancer and the third leading cause of cancer-related deaths.

Understanding the complexities of stomach cancer is the first step toward effective treatment. Livasa Hospitals in Punjab is committed to providing comprehensive stomach cancer care that encompasses cutting-edge treatments and personalized therapies.

Understanding Stomach Cancer

Stomach cancer typically progresses slowly over many years. The most common type, adenocarcinoma, originates in the glandular tissues of the stomach lining. Other types, such as lymphoma, gastrointestinal stromal tumor (GIST), and neuroendocrine tumors, are less common. Key causes include genetic mutations, chronic gastritis, and infections such as Helicobacter pylori.

Symptoms of stomach cancer often go unnoticed in the early stages and can include persistent stomach pain, difficulty swallowing, unexplained weight loss, and vomiting. Recognizing these symptoms early is vital for a prompt and effective diagnosis.

Advanced Diagnosis and Screening Methods

At Livasa Hoshiarpur, we employ advanced diagnostic techniques to accurately detect and stage stomach cancer. Our methodologies include endoscopic examinations, imaging tests such as CT and PET scans, and biopsies. These tools allow us to tailor treatment plans effectively.

Regular screenings are particularly important for individuals with a family history of gastric cancer or those exhibiting potential signs of the disease. Early detection significantly improves treatment outcomes, showcasing the importance of our state-of-the-art diagnostic capabilities.
