It was written by Emily Olivia White, Head of the Editorial Team, who has over 10 years of experience in scientific research and clinic management in Turkey. She ensures the reliability of medical information while making complex data accessible to everyone.

Warning signs of stomach cancer

While stomach cancer may go unnoticed in its early stages, certain digestive symptoms may indicate its presence:

If you experience one or more of these symptoms, you should seek medical attention immediately. Early diagnosis is crucial to improving the chances of recovery from stomach cancer.

Risk factors for gastric cancer

Several factors can increase the likelihood of developing stomach cancer:

Having one or more of these risk factors does not guarantee you will develop stomach cancer, just as lacking them does not entirely eliminate the risk.

Adopting a healthy lifestyle (balanced diet, regular exercise, maintaining a normal weight, and avoiding smoking) can significantly reduce your risk.

If you have risk factors or experience persistent digestive symptoms such as heartburn, indigestion, or unexplained weight loss, it is crucial to seek expert evaluation. Our specialists at Turquie Santé provide thorough assessments and follow-up care to ensure early detection and timely treatment.

Diagnosis and evaluation in Turkey

Accurate diagnosis is the first step toward effective gastric cancer treatment. In Turkey, our partner clinics and hospitals offer advanced diagnostic tools, including:

Managing stomach cancer in Turkey

Treating gastric cancer in Turkey involves a multidisciplinary approach, ensuring that every patient receives personalized, high-quality care. A dedicated team of specialists collaborates to develop a treatment plan tailored to your condition, stage of cancer, and overall health.

This team-based approach maximizes treatment effectiveness, supports faster recovery, and prioritizes patient well-being. At Turquie Santé, our partner clinics provide this coordinated care using the latest technologies, giving patients the best possible outcomes.

Gastric cancer surgery in Turkey

Surgery is often the cornerstone of treatment for stomach cancer, offering the best chance of a cure, especially when the disease is detected at an early stage (0, I, II, or III) and the patient's overall health allows it. In Turkey, surgery is typically combined with other treatments, such as chemotherapy or radiation, to maximize effectiveness.

The main surgical options include :

Type of surgeryDescription & goals
Endoscopic resection
  • Description: Minimally invasive removal of small, early-stage tumors.
  • Goal: remove the tumor while preserving the stomach.
Partial gastrectomy
  • Description: Removal of part of the stomach and affected lymph nodes.
  • Goal: eliminate cancer cells while retaining some stomach function.
Total gastrectomy
  • Description: Complete removal of the stomach with reconstruction of the digestive system.
  • Goal: remove all cancerous tissue.
Feeding tube placement
  • Description: Temporary alternative nutrition route post-surgery.
  • Goal: maintain nutrition when oral feeding is limited.
Palliative surgery
  • Surgery aimed at symptom relief when the tumor cannot be completely removed.
  • Goal: improve quality of life and relieve obstruction or bleeding.

If you or a loved one is considering gastric cancer surgery, contact Turquie Santé for a personalized consultation with expert surgeons in Turkey. Receive a tailored treatment plan and professional guidance every step of the way.

Stomach cancer FAQ in Turkey

What is the best treatment for stomach cancer in Turkey?

Surgery (total or partial gastrectomy) is the main treatment for gastric cancer in our clinics in Turkey. Chemotherapy before and after surgery is sometimes necessary.

How can you live after a total gastrectomy?

It is possible to live without a stomach by eating small, frequent meals, focusing on protein and foods that are easy to digest, and avoiding alcohol, tobacco, foods that are too fatty, sugary, or difficult to digest.

Is Targeted Therapy Effective Against Stomach Cancer?

Targeted therapy may be indicated for patients with advanced or metastatic gastric cancer as a complementary treatment to chemotherapy.

Can immunotherapy be indicated for the treatment of gastric cancer?

Recent studies have shown that Pembrolizumab (an antibody used as an anticancer medicine) could be considered as a complementary therapy in the treatment of gastric adenocarcinoma in our clinics Turkey.

Is stomach cancer hereditary?

In some rare cases, there may be a genetic predisposition. However, the majority of gastric cancers are not hereditary.
