The
Division of Surgical Oncology 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.
Decisions about preoperative therapy versus post-operative
chemotherapy and/or radiation are made to optimize patient’s chances
of survival. |
