Treatment options for stomach cancer include surgery, radiation therapy, and chemotherapy. Other options may include targeted therapy, immunotherapy, stents, or endoscopic procedures, depending on the cancer stage and patient health. Treatment for stomach cancer attempts to remove, shrink, or destroy tumors; control disease spread; and relieve symptoms such as pain or bleeding. Surgery, which offers the best chance for a cure when possible, may involve partial or total gastrectomy.
