At Cancer Treatment Centers of America (CTCA), we use many tools to help you fight stomach cancer on all fronts. Our cancer experts provide a powerful combination of traditional and new, innovative therapies. Your CTCA care team will work with you to determine the appropriate combination of therapies, which may include the following:
- Surgery is often performed to remove tumors of the stomach, whenever practical. Surgery may also help prevent future complications, such as blockage or bleeding.
- Metronomic Chemotherapy divides a powerful dose of chemotherapy drugs into smaller doses, given over several days. This approach exposes cancer cells to the drugs for a longer period of time, while also seeking to reduce the unpleasant side effects often experienced with larger doses.
- Biotherapy/Immunotherapy is a treatment that is sometimes used for stomach cancer. Immunotherapy causes the body's own natural defenses (immune system) to attack the cancer.
In addition the therapies described above, CTCA enriches your treatment by offering complementary medicine therapies, such as naturopathic medicine, nutrition therapy, mind-body medicine, image enhancement, and spiritual support. These therapies help to reduce side effects and improve your overall quality of life during and after your stomach cancer treatment.
