What is Stomach Cancer? 

Stomach cancer is a serious condition that affects the lining of the stomach. Common symptoms include persistent indigestion, stomach pain, and a feeling of fullness even after eating small amounts of food.

Some people may also experience nausea, vomiting, and unintentional weight loss. If you notice any of these signs, it’s important to consult with a healthcare professional to understand what might be causing them. 

Common Risk Factors for Stomach Cancer 

Understanding the common risk factors for stomach cancer can help you stay informed and proactive about your health. Here are some key factors to be aware of: 

• Age: Stomach cancer is more frequently diagnosed in people over the age of 50. 

• Diet: A diet high in salty and smoked foods, and low in fruits and vegetables, can increase the risk. 

• Helicobacter pylori infection: This bacterial infection is known to cause chronic inflammation and is linked to an increased risk of stomach cancer. 

• Family history: Having close relatives with stomach cancer can raise your risk. 

• Smoking: Tobacco use is a significant risk factor and can contribute to the development of stomach cancer. 

• Previous stomach surgery: Past surgeries on the stomach can sometimes lead to increased cancer risk later in life. 

Why TrueBeam is a Game Changer for Stomach Cancer Patients 

Many stomach cancer patients face significant discomfort and severe side effects from traditional radiation therapies. TrueBeam technology changes the game by effectively reducing these issues.

Its advanced precision significantly minimizes damage to surrounding healthy tissues, leading to fewer side effects and a more comfortable treatment experience.

This improvement allows patients to maintain a better quality of life throughout their treatment journey. 

How TrueBeam is Improving Outcomes in Stomach Cancer Care 

• Preserved Appetite: Traditional treatments often lead to a significant loss of appetite, making it difficult to maintain proper nutrition. TrueBeam’s precision reduces the impact on the stomach, helping you maintain a healthier appetite throughout your treatment.
• Reduced Internal Scarring: Traditional radiation can cause internal scarring, leading to long-term digestive issues. TrueBeam’s targeted approach minimizes the risk of scarring, preserving the function of your digestive tract. 
• Less Inflammation: Radiation treatments can cause inflammation in the stomach lining, leading to discomfort and digestive problems. TrueBeam’s advanced technology reduces unnecessary radiation exposure, resulting in less inflammation and a more comfortable treatment process. 
• Improved Bowel Function: Traditional therapies can disrupt bowel function, causing issues such as diarrhea or constipation. TrueBeam’s precise targeting helps maintain normal bowel function by sparing healthy tissues, leading to fewer gastrointestinal complications.
