Stomach cancer treatments we offer

皇冠hga025大学洛杉矶分校健康中心,我们的胃肠病学专家提供最先进的胃癌治疗:

Nonsurgical stomach cancer treatments

你的医生可能会建议对胃癌进行非手术治疗,以便在手术前缩小肿瘤, or if the cancer has spread. We offer:

Chemotherapy: These powerful drugs kill cancer cells throughout the body. 你的医生也可能在手术前使用化疗来缩小肿瘤.

Radiation therapy: 这种治疗方法使用高能光束来缩小肿瘤,通常来自晚期胃癌. Your doctor may use radiation with chemotherapy. This treatment is called chemoradiation.

Immunotherapy: 免疫治疗药物通过激活你的免疫系统来对抗癌症.

Targeted therapies: 许多药物可以靶向并减缓特定胃癌基因和蛋白质的生长.

Hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemoperfusion (HIPEC): 手术后,医生立即将这种化疗药物注射到胃里. HIPEC可以摧毁手术中没有发现的微小癌细胞,并可能减少癌症复发的机会. 皇冠hga025大学洛杉矶分校健康中心是我们地区仅有的几个提供这种治疗的中心之一.

Stomach cancer surgery

手术切除肿瘤通常是胃癌的一线治疗方法. 胃切除术是一种切除部分或全部胃的外科手术. When removing the stomach entirely, surgeons will attach the small intestines to the patient's esophagus. After this procedure, food passes from the esophagus directly to the intestines, where digestion occurs.

Our surgeons may use a traditional approach with a larger incision, or they may be able to use a minimally invasive procedure. 微创手术使用较小的切口,通常导致较短的恢复时间.
