Stomach and Duodenal Tumors

Have you recently been experiencing frequent, persistent digestive problems? Perhaps you're experiencing heartburn or acid reflux, difficulty swallowing, or feeling unusually full even after a very small meal. These symptoms, along with persistent upper abdominal pain or unexplained weight loss, may simply indicate transient indigestion. However, if they persist for an extended period without improvement, they could be a sign of stomach tumors and require prompt and serious evaluation.

Don't let anxiety overwhelm you. Early and accurate diagnosis is your first and only step to ensuring the highest chances of recovery. This is where our expertise and the role of Dr. Kyrillos Medhat, Consultant of Surgical Oncology, General Surgery, and Liver Transplantation, come in. We provide accurate diagnosis and precise treatment of stomach tumors according to international standards.

What are stomach tumors, and where do they originate?

The stomach is a vital part of your digestive system, and stomach cancer is an abnormal growth of cells that can occur anywhere in the stomach. The severity of a tumor depends on its size and stage, but understanding its type is crucial:

• Common Types: The most prevalent type is adenocarcinoma. Other types include gastric lymphoma. Benign tumors may also occur and are not cause for concern.
• Symptoms to Watch Out For: Initially, symptoms may be mild, but they include: pain or burning in the upper abdomen, unexplained weight loss or loss of appetite, frequent nausea or vomiting, or even anemia without a clear cause.

Don't wait or rely on others' experiences in dealing with digestive problems. If any of these signs persist, you should seek immediate medical evaluation.

The Best Doctor for Stomach Tumor Treatment

To ensure the highest chances of success and recovery from stomach tumors, you need a specialist in this type of tumor. Dr. Kyrillos Medhat is a consultant in surgical oncology, general surgery, and liver transplantation, and a member of the European Society for Surgical Oncology. At our clinic, we guarantee the following:

• World-class diagnostic accuracy: Diagnosis begins with an upper endoscopy (essential for biopsy), followed by a CT scan or PET-CT to accurately stage the tumor. We also perform blood tests and H. pylori testing, which is associated with stomach cancer.
• A personalized and comprehensive treatment plan: The treatment plan is developed after a thorough evaluation and careful discussion with a multidisciplinary team of physicians, including oncologists and clinical nutritionists, to ensure a comprehensive protocol that meets each patient's individual needs:

- Surgery: Partial or total gastrectomy with lymph node dissection, followed by reconstructive surgery to ensure efficient digestive function.

- Adjunctive therapies: Chemotherapy (before or after surgery), radiotherapy, or immunotherapy/targeted therapy for specific types of tumors.

Nutritional follow-up and support: We understand that recovery requires care that goes beyond surgery. Therefore, we provide specialized nutritional consultations to help you:

-   Address deficiencies in essential vitamins and minerals.

-   Effectively manage loss of appetite or nausea. Adapting to post

- Operative gastrointestinal changes improve absorption and digestion, ensuring the highest possible quality of life.

If you are experiencing these persistent digestive symptoms and have certain risk factors—especially if you are over 50, male, have a long history of H. pylori infection, or have a close family history of stomach cancer (brother, sister, or parent)—the need for examination and evaluation increases significantly. This is not a cause for alarm, but rather a call for prompt and appropriate action.
