Gastric Cancer Treatment in Bhubaneswar
Gastric cancer, also known as stomach cancer, develops in the lining of the stomach and can affect digestion, nutrition, and overall health. In its early stages, the symptoms are often vague and may be mistaken for common digestive problems, which is why many patients are diagnosed later than expected.
Early diagnosis and timely treatment can make a significant difference. Dr. Anjali Singh, an experienced Surgical Oncologist in Bhubaneswar, provides specialised surgical care for lung cancer, from staging and treatment planning to surgery and long-term follow-up. She is among the first surgeons in Odisha to perform uniportal lung cancer surgery, a minimally invasive technique that uses a single incision of approximately 4 cm to access the chest. Every treatment plan is tailored to the stage of the cancer and the individual needs of the patient.
Types of Gastric Cancer
Adenocarcinoma
This is the most common type of stomach cancer. It starts in the inner lining of the stomach and accounts for most gastric cancer cases.
Diffuse Gastric Cancer
Unlike other stomach cancers, this type spreads through the stomach wall rather than forming a clear lump, which can make early detection more challenging.
Gastroesophageal Junction (GEJ) Cancer
This cancer develops where the food pipe joins the stomach. Because of its location, treatment often requires careful planning.
Recurrent Gastric Cancer
In some cases, gastric cancer can return after treatment. When this happens, further evaluation helps determine the most suitable treatment options.
Advanced Diagnostic Techniques for Gastric Cancer Treatment
Before recommending any treatment, Dr. Anjali Singh takes time to understand the complete picture of the disease. This helps ensure that surgery is offered at the right time and as part of the most suitable treatment plan.
