Stomach Cancer

Comprehensive gastric cancer treatment including targeted therapy and immunotherapy.

Overview

Stomach (gastric) cancer requires a multidisciplinary approach combining surgery, chemotherapy, targeted therapy, and immunotherapy. Our team uses HER2 testing and PD-L1 assessment to identify patients who will benefit from the latest targeted and immune-based treatments.

We manage all stages from early resectable disease through advanced metastatic gastric and gastroesophageal junction cancers.
