Which chemotherapy drugs are used for stomach cancer in India?

The best medication depends on the specific stage and genetic makeup of the tumor. We utilize a multidisciplinary approach to determine the most effective chemotherapy plan alongside advanced surgical options like CRS & HIPEC for optimal patient outcomes.

What does stomach cancer surgery cost in a private hospital?

The cost of stomach cancer surgery (Radical Gastrectomy) in private facilities typically ranges from ₹4,00,000 to ₹7,00,000, depending on the surgical approach and hospital stay. Advanced options like laparoscopic surgery may sit at the higher end of this bracket but offer benefits like faster recovery and fewer complications.

We rely on a comprehensive multidisciplinary approach to ensure every patient receives the most advanced, personalized care alongside surgical treatments.

Which chemotherapy options are used for advanced gastric cancer?

For advanced gastric cancer, traditional intravenous chemotherapy is often combined with highly specialized, localized treatments. We frequently utilize CRS & HIPEC, delivering heated chemotherapy directly into the abdomen to target advanced cancer cells effectively.

Systemic Chemo IV medications Treats cancer body-wide
Targeted Therapy Precision drugs Attacks specific cancer cells
HIPEC Heated abdominal chemo Directly destroys local tumors

What should a patient look for when choosing a stomach cancer surgeon?

Here is what patients typically say:

⦿ I felt completely reassured by the multidisciplinary approach and compassionate care during my treatment.

⦿ Opting for minimally invasive surgery helped me return to my normal life with minimal pain.

Outpatient assessment and follow-up take place at Dr. Jivraj Mehta Hospital, Vasna, Ahmedabad.

What is a D2 lymph node dissection, and why does it matter?

A D2 dissection removes the lymph nodes along the stomach and the arteries that supply it, rather than only the nodes next to the tumour. It gives the pathologist enough nodes to stage the disease accurately, and it is the standard of care for curative gastric cancer surgery.

How is stomach cancer staged before surgery?

Staging begins with an upper GI endoscopy and biopsy, followed by a CT scan of the chest, abdomen and pelvis. A PET-CT or a staging laparoscopy is added when the scan suggests the disease may have spread beyond the stomach, because that changes whether surgery or chemotherapy comes first.

पेट के कैंसर की सर्जरी कैसे होती है?

पेट के कैंसर में ट्यूमर वाला हिस्सा और उसके आसपास की लिम्फ नोड्स निकाली जाती हैं। अगर गांठ पेट के निचले हिस्से में है तो distal gastrectomy, और ऊपर के हिस्से में है तो total gastrectomy की जाती है। इसके बाद आंत को दोबारा जोड़ा जाता है ताकि मरीज़ सामान्य रूप से खा सके।

Can a patient eat normally after the stomach is removed?

Yes, but the pattern changes. After a total gastrectomy the food pipe is joined directly to the small intestine, so meals become smaller and more frequent, usually six to eight times a day. A dietitian guides the diet from the first week, and most patients settle into a stable routine and regain weight over three to six months.
