Stomach cancer is a type of cancer that originates in the cells of the inner lining of the stomach, may start in different parts of the stomach and then spread to other surrounding tissues. Treatment may include surgery, chemotherapy, radiation therapy, targeted therapy and biological therapy, depending on the stage and extent of the cancer. Oncothermia may be a complementary option to help fight the cancer.
