Hello! My dad was diagnosed with a diagnosis in the clinic: adenomatic stomach carcinoma of the 3rd stage. Doctors, nurses and accompanying personnel are qualified professionals, very attentive! All procedures are made as necessary, and not for profit. The only thing that is embarrassing is the menu for people without a stomach. (They gave it hot and fried) Accompanying company takes you from the airport on the day of arrival to the airport on the day of departure. In general, from the time of the first call to today, everyone is happy! I advise everyone here to contact!

The approach of professionals in Memorial Hospital differs from other hospitals by precisely planned post-surgical monitoring: monthly control of the general and local statuses during first 6 months, full diagnostics every 3 months afterwards, in a year PET-CT every 6 months, in 5 years – one full diagnostics per annum.

The clinical oncologists also develop the individual monitoring rhythm while a patient is discharging from the Hospital.

Memorial applies both traditional treatment methods of stomach cancer and newest medical technologies. There are only a few hospitals in the world that apply the newest high-tech methods of cancer and metastases treatment.

Memorial Oncological Center applies both traditional treatment methods of stomach cancer (surgical, drug and radiation therapy), and the methods of interventional radiology and brand new methods like DaVinci Surgical System, NanoKnife and CyberKnife. The successful treatment of stomach cancer means the combination of chemotherapy and different methods of treatment, as well as the certain sequence of their application.

We made an appointment at the clinic at 15:00, and in the end we got to the doctor at 16:50. There is no clear organization in terms of admission. But the doctor examined me well, did all the research and prescriptions. The only problem is waiting for an appointment, with a patient of 4 degrees of oncology it takes a long time, the patient is nervous. The main coordinator himself does not get in touch, so he is loaded with other clients. We need to organize work better !! Who really answered promptly and worked is Inga from Bookimed !!

We got to the MEMORIAL clinic due to an urgent diagnosis. The successful outcome of the operation depended on promptness. The question was about days. The operation was carried out the next day. The most difficult operation according to the Whipple method. Conducted by professor, head of surgery. Low bow to him. The entire staff of the department works perfectly, promptly responds to any request. Separately, I want to say about the work of the translator Aida. High qualification, operational work at any time of the day, sincerity - only a small description of her qualities. Special thanks for providing meals to the patient and accompanying person. The cuisine is very tasty, in some positions it is better than homemade. I enjoyed the vegetarian cuisine. But there is a different one. A low bow to all the staff of the clinic. They saved my husband's life.

I was not in the hospital. I asked just a second opinion. I was very disappointed, because I was working a lot to translate all the documentation into English, and finally I was discussing with doctor only 10 minutes, and the level of the discussion was very poor. Practically I did not get anything for 400 EUR. <br/><br/> <strong>Reply from Professor Johaness Drach:</strong><br/> <i>Second opinion is given on the basis of a thorough analyses of provided medical reports. The procedure lasts as long until all questions of the patient have been clarified. If necessary specialists of other disciplines are also involved.

Hello everybody. Thanks to the Clinic for a successful operation. To the Neurosurgeon Mustafa Onaz and Professor Gohan. We are diagnosed with Brain cancer, the last stage, malignant. The tumor was twice as large. They saved my husband&#39;s life. Masha Allah. The operation was 8-9 hours. they deleted everything, I consider this a record. It was a difficult operation. Well done. At our KZ they could not remove everything that was, only a small part was removed and that&#39;s it. I bow to you. At the expense of the clinic. Service At the Highest Level. Another razzzzz Many thanks to Mustafa Onaz. We love you. A doctor from God. He needs OsKar ❤️❤️❤️ Aidana Amanshieva

Many thanks to Dr Bora Basharan and Alisher Durdiev! Diagnosis: carcinoma on the tongue. Alisher was very helpful with the choice and full support during the treatment. He gave us confidence in choosing Dr Bora Basharan by telling us about his professionalism and humanity. The most important thing for Alisher was the patient's health and to organise the diagnosis/surgery so that the patient gets the best results. We are very happy about this. We could not decide on the treatment (we were waiting for answers from South Korea) and Alisher did not give up to provide us with doctor's answers, answer our many questions and help with organisation. His ability to speak excellent Russian helped a lot in communication. The first meeting organised by Alisher went well. The doctor explained everything about the surgery and gave us peace of mind due to his experience as a highly specialised ENT surgeon in oncology. The operation went well and the follow up health checks. The recovery is good. We read many positive reviews online about Dr Bor Basharan which gave us more confidence. The reviews are true. After the surgery we were given a room with excellent food and the recovery was good. Thank Allah that we met Alisher and Dr Bora Basharan, for his golden hands, good surgery and organisation. Thank you very much again! Good health to all!

My husband and I traveled from New Zealand to both get eye lens replacement surgery. From the start we have had print and effient communication. With every question answered. We were picked up from the airport, taken to hotel, then the same day at our request taken to the hospital for our appointment. Two days later we were in having eye surgery again with pick ups and drop offs. We were met at the hospital entrance, by bookimed.com translators and hospital translators they were amazing every day, in every way. The doctors were provisional and onto it, explaining every detail, and answering all our questions. Our procedure went very well and we are very happy with the outcome and how amazing we can see, no longer with glasses or contacts. I recommend bookimed.com to everyone. Vikki

FAQ about Stomach cancer Treatment

What is Stomach Cancer?

Stomach cancer, also called gastric cancer, occurs when cancer cells form in the inner lining of the stomach. The 5-year survival rate for localized stomach cancer is 75%. Men are statistically more likely to develop stomach cancer compared to women, and those over 55 should be aware of the signs.

The stomach on the left side of the upper abdomen breaks down food. It is part of the digestive system, a series of connected organs that process food from the mouth to the anus.

In most cases, stomach cancer grows into the gastroesophageal junction (the place where the stomach meets the esophagus).

image

What Causes Stomach Cancer?

Stomach cancer starts when there is a change (mutation) in the DNA of stomach cells. DNA acts like a set of instructions for cells, telling them when to grow and when to die. When a mutation happens, the cells grow too quickly and form a tumor instead of dying off.

These cancer cells can then take over healthy cells and may spread to other body parts (metastasize). Advanced stomach cancer may not be operable, and different treatments like immunotherapy and targeted therapies can enhance patients' survival and response to treatment.

The main reason for mutation is unknown. Yet, there are several factors putting patients at risk of stomach cancer:

  • 🦠 Helicobacter pylori infection. Long-term infection of the stomach lining with H. pylori bacteria is a considerable risk factor. The bacterium spreads through direct contact with saliva, vomit, or stool.

  • 🙋🏼‍♀️ Family history.

  • 🍔 Diet. Eating salty food and having poorly preserved products regularly.

  • 👷🏽‍♂️ Occupational exposures, for example, working in a rubber or coal industry.

  • 🚬 Tobacco use.

What are the Types and Stages of Stomach Cancer, including Gastric Cardia Adenocarcinoma?

The doctors classify stomach cancer into the following types:

  • Adenocarcinoma. It is the most common type of stomach cancer. Adenocarcinoma starts in the cells that produce mucus;

  • Gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GIST). GIST is a type of cancer that starts in particular nerve cells found in the walls of the stomach and other digestive organs. It belongs to a group of cancers called soft tissue sarcomas.

  • Lymphoma. A slow-growing tumor that responds well to early treatment. Over 90% of stomach lymphomas are associated with Helicobacter pylori infections.

  • Leiomyosarcoma. It is an aggressive tumor, one of the subtypes of sarcoma. Leiomyosarcoma starts in a muscle layer and is extremely rare in the stomach area.

The stages of stomach cancers depend on the severity of cancerous cell growth and spread. Different systems describe how far cancer has spread. For stomach cancer, doctors often use the TNM staging system. It stands for Tumor-Node-Metastasis and helps to measure cancer progression and coordinate treatment plans. Different stages require different approaches to treat stomach cancer, including surgery, chemotherapy, and radiation therapy.

The stomach wall has five layers:

  • Mucosa. Contains glandular cells that make mucus and digestive juices;

  • Submucosa, which has blood vessels, lymph vessels, and nerves.

  • The muscle layer helps mix food and move it to the small intestine.

  • The subserosa and serosa are the outer layers, with the serosa being the outermost.

image

Stomach cancers become advanced as they spread across different wall structures. There are five main stages of disease progression (table 1)

  • Stage 0 (carcinoma in situ). The abnormal cancer cells grow into the mucosa, the innermost layer of the stomach wall;

  • Stage I (also called stage 1). The stomach cancer may spread to the submucosa or even the muscle layer;

  • Stage II (also called stage 2). Cancer cells spread to the nearby lymph nodes and deeper into the stomach wall;

  • Stage III (also called stage 3). This stage has three sub-stages. The disease spreads all over the stomach wall and can even reach the other organs (such as spleen, colon, liver, diaphragm, or pancreas);

  • Stage IV (also called stage 4). The cancer spreads to all body parts, including the lungs and liver.

What Are the Warning Signs of Stomach Cancer, including Lymph Nodes Stomach Cancer Symptoms?

The early signs of stomach cancer include:

  • 🔥Heartburn;

  • 😶‍🌫️ Bloated feeling after eating;

  • 😰 Indigestion;

  • 🤢 Mild nausea;

  • 🧩 Changes in appetite;

  • 😖 Stomach pain.

Stomach cancer doesn’t often cause many symptoms in the early stages. In the same way, it may not appear at the Stage IV. Most symptoms are purely digestive, and the rest depend on the organs where cancer spreads.

How to Detect Stomach Cancer Early?

Diagnosing stomach cancer typically involves:

  • Physical exam to assess the overall health;

  • Medical history to check if anyone blood-related has stomach cancer;

  • Blood tests. Doctors may order a blood test to check for anemia, which can result from cancer, causing internal bleeding in the stomach. Another test may look for hidden blood in the stool, indicating stomach bleeding;

  • Instrumental tests.

image

The instrumental methods are:

Upper endoscopy with biopsy

An upper endoscopy allows doctors to look inside the esophagus, stomach, and the first part of the small intestine. A thin, lighted tube called an endoscope is passed through the mouth and throat. A small tissue sample (biopsy) can also be taken to check for signs of cancer under a microscope.

Barium swallow

The patient drinks barium (a silver-white metallic compound) and then undergoes a series of X-rays. The liquid coats the esophagus and stomach, increasing their visibility and improving the chances for tumor diagnostics.

Biomarker testing

Biomarker testing checks for specific genes, proteins, and other substances in the body, known as biomarkers or tumor markers. These biomarkers can give insights into stomach cancer and its treatment response.

The most popular markers of stomach cancer include:

  • HER2;

  • PD-L1;

  • Microsatellite instability;

  • NTRK.

PET-CT scan

A PET-CT scan combines images from a positron emission tomography (PET) scan and a computed tomography (CT) scan. Both scans are done at the same time using the same machine. Combining the images provides a clearer, more detailed picture than either scan alone.

Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) with gadolinium

The other name for the procedure is nuclear magnetic resonance imaging (NMRI). Before scanning, the patient receives a gadolinium injection for a brighter stomach image. The substance gathers around cancer cells, making the tumor more visible and sharp in pictures.

How to Treat Stomach Cancer at Early Stages?

In some cases of stage 1 stomach cancer, doctors may recommend surgery to remove part or all of the stomach. For stage 2 and stage 3 stomach cancers, surgery is often not the initial treatment option.

The main approaches for treating stomach cancer include:

Surgery

In stage I-II, the doctors may solve the problem by simply removing the cancerous part of the stomach. At some medical centers, these operations involve laparoscopic gastrectomy. The other facilities prefer robotic-assisted surgery for these procedures.

Sometimes, surgery is an option for palliative care. If the cancer has spread too much to be removed entirely, it helps to stop bleeding from the tumor. It’s the solution to manage symptoms and relieve pain or at least prevent the stomach from becoming blocked by the tumor's growth. 

When stomach cancer blocks digestion, doctors use several procedures to improve quality of life:

  • Endoluminal Stent Placement. Surgeons place a thin, expandable tube (stent) from the esophagus to the stomach or from the stomach to the small intestine when a tumor blocks the passage. This procedure allows normal eating by reopening the pathway.

  • Endoluminal Laser Therapy. Doctors use a thin, lighted tube with a laser attached, to cut through blockages in the gastrointestinal tract. The laser acts like a knife to clear the obstruction.

  • Gastrojejunostomy. Surgeons remove the tumorous part of stomach cancer that blocks the small intestine. They then connect the remaining part of the stomach to the jejunum, a section of the small intestine, to restore the normal flow of food and medicine.

Chemotherapy

Oncologists mostly combine chemotherapy with surgery in case of locally advanced disease, which spreads to the nearby lymph nodes. Chemotherapy utilizes medications to destroy cancer cells, specifically highlighting its application in treating various types of stomach cancer.

  • Chemo before surgery is known as neoadjuvant treatment. It can make the surgery more accessible by “shrinking” the tumor. It can also reduce the risk of cancer returning and extend life expectancy (5-year survival rate increases to 38% compared to 24% for perioperative chemotherapy);

  • Chemo after surgery (or adjuvant treatment) aims to kill any left-out cancer areas that are hard to see. It helps to prevent stomach cancer relapse. Often, the doctors prescribe chemotherapy with radiation therapy after surgery to ensure no traces of cancer cells have left.

Targeted Drug Therapy

Targeted drug therapy works on specific proteins in cancer cells or other aspects of tumors.

The latest recommendations to treat stomach cancer include:

  • Tyrosine kinase inhibitors to slow cancer growth;

  • Cell structure remodeling therapies to destroy cancer cells by stimulating their death;

  • Targeting of DNA damage repair proteins, which cause a normal cell to mutate into a cancer cell. These proteins lead to ineffective repairing of genetic material, increasing the potential for tumor growth;

  • Immunotherapy stimulates the body’s response to disease by activating its immune system to identify and combat stomach cancer cells, highlighting its advantages over traditional treatments like chemotherapy.

When Is It Better to Apply Radiation Therapy?

Radiation therapy aims to target stomach cancer with precise radiation from different angles. It helps to focus on mutated areas without damaging the healthy tissues. Doctors at stomach cancer treatment centers apply the following procedures:

  • 📌Three-dimensional conformal radiation therapy (3D-CRT);

  • 📌Intensity-modulated radiation therapy (IMRT);

  • 📌Respiratory gating is a supplement technique before surgical resection of the stomach.

Radiation therapy can be applied in several cases, depending on how advanced stomach cancer is:

  • For some earlier-stage cancers, the top stomach cancer treatment centers combine radiation therapy with chemotherapy. This approach makes tumor removal much easier and is called chemoradiation.

  • After surgery, radiation therapy, along with chemotherapy, may target any remaining cancer cells that couldn't be removed during the operation. This approach aims to reduce the chances of stomach cancer recurrence.

  • For cancers that can't be removed with surgery, radiation therapy can sometimes slow the tumor's growth and help relieve symptoms like pain, bleeding, or difficulty eating.

How Does Diet Contribute to the Risk of Stomach Cancer?

The studies show that a higher intake of fruits and vegetables lowers the risk of stomach cancer by 13-25%. This suggests that including more fruits and vegetables could reduce the likelihood of developing stomach cancer.

The main reason why these food groups are so influential is that they prevent DNA damage. Fruits and vegetables often have many antioxidants, working against cell mutation and abnormal tumor growth.

How To Find the Best Hospital for Stomach Cancer?

Searching for the best stomach cancer hospital in the world requires precise attention to the following details:

  • 🏥Center's location. Bookimed advises picking the country that is faster to reach. Depending on the cancer stage and severity, there might be less to zero time for itinerary changes. That's why the best hospital for gastric cancer is the one patients can access via direct flight.

  • 🏥Oncologist's qualification. Acknowledged specialists hold certifications and receive positive patient feedback. The top stomach cancer hospitals have technological advancements, such as robotic surgery and precise radiation therapy tools.

  • 🏥Hospital affiliations. What kind of specialists work in the hospital? What is the cost of stomach cancer treatment? What support staff is available? Answering these questions will help to reduce anxiety before starting a treatment course.

Where are the Best Gastric Cancer Hospitals Located?

Bookimed has a rating of the best stomach cancer treatment centers. Based on our Smart Ranking System, most are in Germany, Izrael, and Turkey. They have modern equipment for diagnosis and treatment, such as:

  • DaVinci Surgical system is a method of interventional radiology similar to traditional laparoscopy. However, the DaVinci system makes a few small incisions rather than a large one.

  • GammaKnife, which is applicable for brain metastases of stomach cancer. The mechanical accuracy of GammaKnife is less than 0.3 millimeters, making incisions practically invisible to patients.

  • NanoKnife. It involves placing long, thin needles directly into the tumor to deliver targeted therapy. NanoKnife is an option for patients with inoperable stomach cancer or if they do not qualify for other treatment options.

What is the Gastric Cancer Treatment Cost?

Today, stomach cancer screening and treatment are relatively cheap. For example, the total cure for stomach cancer starts from $20,000, while

the gross payment for prostate cancer begins from $33,607.

Here's an overview of the best hospitals for gastric cancer treatment in Europe and their estimated prices for diagnostics and treatment.

Stomach Cancer Hospital Helios Berlin Buch Sourasky (Ichilov) Hospital Anadolu Medical Center Hospital Quiron Barcelona
Treatment cost From $20,000 From $18,000 From $15,000 From $15,000

*The prices may vary depending on the center's policy, exchange rates, etc. The Bookimed MD will suggest the total cost after reviewing each individual case.
