Cancer of the stomach is one of the most common malignant tumors, especially in Asia and Latin America — though it is quite common in the United States as well. Smoking is a risk factor for stomach cancer, and certain types of diets high in smoked and highly salted food have been associated with stomach cancer. Symptoms of stomach cancer include upper abdominal pain, a sense of fullness after eating even small meals, nausea, weight loss, and unexplained anemia. It is generally diagnosed by endoscopy (looking into the stomach via the mouth, using a flexible tube), and surgery is the only treatment that can lead to a cure. Some patients with stomach cancer may even be candidates for minimally invasive surgical techniques. The General Surgery Group works closely with medical oncologists and radiation oncologists at the Herbert Irving Cancer Center to provide multi-modality therapy for patients with stomach cancer; this may include surgery, chemotherapy, and radiation therapy.
