Stomach Cancer
Stomach cancer treatment combines timely diagnosis, staging, surgery, and systemic therapy.
Understanding Stomach Cancer
Stomach cancer begins in the lining of the stomach and may present late unless symptoms are evaluated early.
At CI(WIA), our multidisciplinary team plans treatment based on tumour stage, nutrition status, and overall fitness for surgery.
Modern care often combines surgery with chemotherapy before or after the operation to improve long-term outcomes.
