Surgery entails the removal of the cancer and part or all of the stomach.
Radiation may be used after surgery to kill small cancers not caught during the surgery. Radiation can also be used to prevent the cancer from recurring and to help relieve the symptoms of the cancer. Fortunately, medical experts are working to improve treatment options for stomach cancer. The NIH's website explains what a clinical trial is and lists stomach cancer clinical trials being held around the country.
