Surgery is a common treatment of all stages of cancer of the stomach.
If only part of the stomach is removed, a patient should still be able to eat fairly normally. Frequent, small meals may need to be eaten, as well as foods low in sugar and high in fat and protein, if the entire stomach is removed. Most patients can adjust to this new way of eating. Chemotherapy uses drugs to kill cancer cells. Chemotherapy may be taken by pill, or it may be put into the body by a needle in the vein or muscle.
