Surviving the final stages of stomach cancer is very much possible today and a patient needs to find the courage and belief that they will recover from it.

Surgery is the most effective treatment for stomach cancer and by far it has worked for many patients than any other kind of treatment. Surgery in stomach cancer involves the removal of affected parts in the stomach. The doctors might try as much as possible to remove only the infected parts in the stomach and retain most of the stomach parts. In stage 4, most of the surgeries involve removing the stomach itself because by then the cancerous tumor could have spread in the entire stomach. Other parts lie spleen and the small intestine might also be removed if found necessary.

After the stomach has been removed, most patients, depending on the spread of the cancer, can undergo chemotherapy to treat the other areas where the cancer has affected. Drugs for this are administered through other organs like mouth or even the spine and these drugs prevent the cancerous cells from multiplying. In order to increase the life span of a patient suffering from stomach cancer, doctors may use palliative surgery which involves removing the tumor from the stomach. By doing this, the doctors are preventing the block that can be caused y the growing tumor inside the stomach.
