The program for
the treatment of gastric cancer integrates state-of-the-art
care from multiple specialties. This includes coordination
of diagnostic evaluations with Radiology (CT scan, MRI)
and Gastroenterology (endoscopy, endoscopic ultrasound).
Once patients have been carefully staged, patients who
will benefit from surgical treatment are identified
and evaluated in collaboration with our Radiation and
Medical Oncologists. This results in an optimization
of the multidisciplinary approach for the treatment
of gastric cancer. Appropriate integration of minimally
invasive surgical techniques such as laparoscopy and
laparoscopic ultrasound along with surgical lymphadenectomy
techniques are utilized. |
