Specialty care uniquely available at Mayo Clinic.
Mayo Clinic experts treat all types and stages of stomach cancer, including early, rare or metastatic cases. Our team offers a full spectrum of treatment options, including endoscopic resection, surgery, proton beam therapy, immunotherapy, targeted therapy, intraperitoneal therapy and clinical trials. We incorporate the latest research to provide innovative care and increase survival.
- If you have the CDH1 genetic variant, we offer minimally invasive preventative surgery to eliminate your risk of developing hereditary diffuse gastric cancer.
- Our surgeons treat 50 to 70 people every year with HIPEC, making us a leading center for HIPEC and increasing survival for people with stomach cancer.
- Using advanced tests, our team evaluates you at intervals, ready to adjust your treatment as needed.
- We offer remote monitoring of gastrointestinal symptoms after surgery through a smartphone-based app that provides real-time feedback to let you know if what you are experiencing is typical or may be concerning and communicates those results to your surgical team.
Your treatment plan is customized for your tumor, your genetics, your cancer staging and, most importantly, your goals.
More surgical experience, a better outcome.
Mayo Clinic offers hope through surgical treatment options for those who have been told their cancer is inoperable. Our surgeons’ extensive experience leads to fewer complications and better outcomes.
