Is there a treatment for Adenocarcinoma of G.E. junction (stoamch cancer). The cyst is of size 12/8/7 cm.?
There is a treatment for adenocarcinoma of stomach.


First a list of investigations need to be done to determine the stage of the patient. Once it is staged , UR oncologist will be able to tell whether it immediately operable or not.


The treatment will include depending on the stage Surgery, Radiotherapy and Chemotherapy.


It will be advisable to get a PET-CT done or atleast a CT scan.


If it can be operated upon then, after the operation , depending on the histopathological report, post op radiotherapy and chemotherapy will be adviced.


Please consult an Oncologist.
Reply:The only treatment for stomach cancer is to remove the cancerous portion of the stomach. I do not think there is any type of. chemotherapy that would help.If the lesion is small, I know of cases that laser treatments were used with success. The tumor u describe appears to be rather large, but hopefully it has not spread to the lymph nodes, or other organs, so perhaps surgery alone may prolong ones life. Good luck and God bless.
Reply:yes surgical excision is possible if it is resectable .. and if it is not spread via blood to distant organs .. alternatively chemotherapy .
Reply:Surgical removal and radiation therapy, chemo if oncologist recommends.
