General Info About Gastric Cancer |
|
Text 
|
The stomach is part of the digestive system. It is located in the upper abdomen, under the ribs on the left side. The upper part of the stomach connects to the esophagus, and the lower part leads into the small intestine. The stomach is shaped like the letter J. Nearby the stomach are organs such as the liver, left kidney with left adrenal gland, pancreas, colon, and spleen. The clinical term for cancer of the stomach is gastric cancer.
Also, stomach cancer is more common in some parts of the world - such as Japan, Korea, parts of Eastern Europe, and Latin America - than in the United States. |

My father [75 years old] was brought in hospital due to bleeding . After examination it was found last stage (4th stage) of stomach cancer.Metastasis were found in liver.Doctor offered local surgery in order to stop bleeding. We understand that such operation will not change anything. Can you advise what is better: to accept surgery or to take father from hospital if second variant what pharmacy can you recommend in order to prolong and ease my father's live.
Your advise will be highly appreciated
