Symptoms

What is Gastric Adeno?

Gastric Adeno, also called gastric adenocarcinoma, is a type of stomach cancer that begins in the inner lining of the stomach. It often grows slowly and may not cause obvious symptoms at first. Early detection greatly improves treatment success.

Common Symptoms

You might not notice symptoms early on, but as the disease progresses, look out for:

  • Ongoing indigestion or heartburn
  • Feeling full after small meals
  • Mild nausea or stomach discomfort
  • Loss of appetite
  • Unintentional weight loss
  • Persistent stomach pain
  • Difficulty swallowing
  • Vomiting, sometimes with blood
  • Black or tarry stools

Causes

A variety of factors can increase the risk of developing gastric adeno:

  • Helicobacter pylori infection
  • Chronic stomach inflammation (gastritis)
  • Family history of stomach cancer
  • Diets high in salty, smoked, or pickled foods
  • Smoking
  • Certain inherited genetic conditions
Treatment

Treatment Options for Gastric Adeno in Jersey Village

Treatment includes endoscopic procedures, surgery, systemic therapies, and clinical research:

  • Endoscopic resection: A thin, flexible tube with a camera (endoscope) is used to remove small, early-stage tumors.
  • Surgery (gastrectomy): Partial or total removal of the stomach, often with lymph node dissection, to eliminate cancerous tissue.
  • Chemotherapy: Anti cancer drugs given before (neoadjuvant) or after (adjuvant) surgery to shrink tumors and kill microscopic disease.
  • Radiation therapy: High energy X-rays targeted at the tumor site to destroy cancer cells and reduce local recurrence.
  • Targeted therapy: Medications that block specific proteins or genes driving tumor growth, used alone or with chemotherapy.
  • Immunotherapy: Treatments that stimulate the body's immune system to recognize and attack gastric cancer cells.
  • Clinical trials: Access to cutting-edge treatments-new drugs, combinations, or techniques-under expert supervision.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the first sign of Gastric Adeno?

The first sign is often persistent bloating, indigestion, or feeling full after eating only small amounts.

How is Gastric Adeno diagnosed?

It is diagnosed through endoscopy with biopsy to examine tissue samples, supplemented by imaging tests like CT scans to check for tumor spread.

Who treats Gastric Adeno?

Gastric Adeno is treated by gastroenterologists and oncology specialists. At GastroDoxs, our board-certified team partners with you for expert care in Jersey Village.

What are the causes of Gastric Adeno?

Common causes include infection with H. pylori, long-term gastritis, a family history of stomach cancer, a diet high in salty or smoked foods, smoking, and certain genetic conditions.

Can Gastric Adeno be cured?

Early-stage gastric adenocarcinoma can often be cured with surgery to remove the tumor, sometimes combined with chemotherapy or radiation to ensure all cancer cells are eliminated.

Can I avoid surgery for Gastric Adeno?

In some cases, yes. Small tumors or very early stages may be treated with endoscopic removal, chemotherapy, radiation, or targeted drug therapies instead of full surgery.

What is recovery like after surgery?

After stomach surgery, most patients stay in the hospital for a few days and gradually return to normal activities over several weeks, following a tailored nutrition and rehabilitation plan.

Should I worry about indigestion?

Persistent or new-onset indigestion or heartburn should not be ignored. If it continues despite lifestyle changes, see a gastroenterologist for evaluation.

Reduce risk by eating a balanced diet rich in fruits and vegetables, avoiding smoking, limiting salty and smoked foods, and treating H. pylori infections promptly.
