SPEED IS THE KEY TO STOMACH CANCER TREATMENT
To treat stomach cancer, speed and precision from treatment to surgery are important, Professors Kim Byeong-sik and Kim Hee-seong have established a process that takes only 2 weeks to complete all stages. treatment, examination, diagnosis and surgery.
Professor Kim Byeong-sik said: “Patients with late-stage stomach cancer need quick surgery, and at the same time, patients with early-stage stomach cancer also experience significant psychological stress while waiting for surgery. So we always aim for quick and accurate treatment.”
In addition, we at CHA Hospital constantly research and implement the best surgical methods to prevent deterioration and ensure patients’ quality of life.
For example, based on research showing that even stage 3 advanced stomach cancer can be treated with laparoscopy, laparoscopy is being performed on patients with advanced stomach cancer. instead of open surgery. Laparoscopic surgery has many advantages over open surgery, including limited scarring, fewer post-operative complications and pain, and shorter hospital stay. In addition, for patients with early-stage stomach cancer, laparoscopic or robotic surgery is applied to provide maximum stomach support.
