Gastric Cancer Treatment in Mumbai

Surgery

Surgery is often the primary treatment option for gastric cancer, and Dr. Nagarajan is highly skilled in performing various surgical procedures. These include:

• Total or partial gastrectomy: Removal of the entire stomach or a portion of it, depending on the extent of the cancer.
• Lymph node dissection: Removal of lymph nodes near the stomach to prevent the spread of cancer.
• Minimally invasive techniques: Dr. Nagarajan utilizes advanced laparoscopic and robotic-assisted surgical methods to minimize surgical trauma and promote faster recovery.

Chemotherapy

Chemotherapy may be used before or after surgery to shrink the tumor or kill any remaining cancer cells. Dr. Nagarajan works closely with oncologists to determine the most appropriate chemotherapy regimen for each patient, taking into account factors such as the stage of the cancer and the patient's overall health.

Radiation Therapy

In some cases, radiation therapy may be used in combination with chemotherapy or surgery to treat gastric cancer. Dr. Nagarajan collaborates with radiation oncologists to ensure that patients receive the most effective and targeted radiation therapy possible.

Diagnosis and Staging

Endoscopy

An endoscopy is a crucial diagnostic tool used to detect gastric cancer. During the procedure, a thin, flexible tube with a camera at the end is inserted through the mouth and into the stomach, allowing Dr. Nagarajan to examine the lining of the stomach and take biopsies if necessary.

Imaging Tests

Various imaging tests are used to stage gastric cancer and determine the extent of the disease. These may include:

• CT scans: To assess the size and location of the tumor and check for any lymph node involvement or metastases.
