A new treatment for Stomach Cancer

• Stomach cancer is a dreaded disease. If not
  detected early, it progresses fast and has a poor
  outcome.

• One of the most important development that has
  improved the outcome for these patients is - The
  way surgery is done. The Japanese surgeons have
  taught us that the extent of surgery should be
  expanded to incorporate a larger area of
  dissection around the tumor so that tiny cancer
  cells that may have spread can also be excised.

To put it more plainly, we are now cutting more
tissues away from the tumor so that the chance of
cure may be increased. The reader must not
interpret this as surgery becoming more invasive,
but understanding that this approach attempts to
contain the disease better.

• Even the way the surgery is done has improved
  dramatically. The instruments that have made a
  lot of difference are-
• Retractors
• Blood vessel sealers
• Staplers, etc.

In plain language, the surgery has become
simpler, faster with less blood loss and more
efficient. Gone are the days of tying each vessel
and cutting with human hands of the assistant
retracting the tissues. Nowadays, technology has
rapidly replaced these tedious maneuvers. The
surgery that we used to do in hours has decreased
dramatically, leading an improved recovery of the
patient.

• However, its wise to remember that these Modern
  Gadgets and Expertise are available only in
  dedicated centres and employed most effectively
  by the experienced.

• At Digestive Surgery Clinic safe, rational,
  evidence based treatment
• for Stomach cancers is available.

The team specializes in doing surgery for Stomach
cancers and is probably the only center in
Eastern India to provide Stomach Cancer surgery
laparoscopically too.

• To conclude, stomach cancer is a dangerous
  disease that has been managed more effectively in
  recent times with the help of better planning,
  surgical technique and availability of
  technology. Choosing the right surgery by the
  experienced surgeon will ultimately translate
  into better outcome in terms of survival and
  comfort in what was otherwise thought to be a
  gloomy disease.
