1. Acting on persistent stomach trouble — complete removal

શું પેટના કેન્સરની ગાંઠ સંપૂર્ણ કાઢી શકાય છે?

A patient with persistent stomach trouble was found to have a stomach cancer. With chemotherapy before surgery and an expert operation, the tumour was removed completely with clear margins and all 30 lymph nodes cancer-free (early stage). Acting on persistent stomach symptoms allows complete, curative-intent removal.

2. Chemotherapy before surgery that cleared the tumour

क्या सर्जरी से पहले दी गई कीमोथेरपी कैंसर को पूरी तरह खत्म कर सकती है?

A patient with a cancer at the junction of the food pipe and stomach was given chemotherapy before surgery. The removed specimen showed no residual cancer and all 25 nodes were clear. Chemotherapy given before surgery can sometimes completely eliminate the tumour — complete treatment matters.

3. Robotic (doorbeen) stomach cancer surgery

શું હોજરી (પેટ)ના કેન્સરનું ઓપરેશન રોબોટિક દૂરબીન પદ્ધતિથી શક્ય છે?

A man in his 60s had a stomach cancer treated with chemotherapy followed by a robotic (doorbeen) radical stomach resection. Recovery was uncomplicated, home in about a week, with clear margins and all 25 nodes negative. Robotic technique allows small incisions and faster recovery while still removing the tumour and nodes completely.

4. When surgery is done first, with chemotherapy to follow

क्या पेट (आमाशय) के कैंसर का ऑपरेशन पहले (सीधे) किया जा सकता है?

A woman in her 60s had a cancer at the stomach outlet (antrum). It was operated on upfront with a distal gastrectomy that removed it with clear margins; as some lymph nodes were involved, chemotherapy was advised afterwards. Not every case needs chemotherapy first — some are best operated on upfront, with chemotherapy to follow if nodes are involved.

Frequently asked questions

Is chemotherapy always given before stomach surgery?

Not always. Some cancers are treated with chemotherapy first; others are best operated on upfront, with chemotherapy afterwards if needed.

Can stomach cancer surgery be robotic?

Yes — in suitable cases, robotic (doorbeen) surgery removes the tumour and lymph nodes completely through small incisions with a faster recovery.
