A gastrectomy is a procedure to remove part or all of the stomach. Often, it is a treatment for stomach cancer. Here, we explore this and other uses of a gastrectomy. We also describe the procedure in detail and discuss the types of surgery. Learn about possible complications, life after a gastrectomy, and more.
Is it possible to kill cancer by 'overfeeding' it?
Published: Sun, 24 Jun 2018 03:00:00 PDT
Cancer thrives on the buildup of 'nutrients' that can damage healthy cells. But can cancer cells have 'too much of a good thing?' Researchers investigate.
New 'potential target' for cancer therapy found
Published: Fri, 22 Jun 2018 09:00:00 PDT
A protein that causes cancer cells to release tiny bags of proteins and molecules that help tumor progression may be a new treatment target, a study says.
Does a higher BMI protect against breast cancer?
Published: Fri, 22 Jun 2018 07:00:00 PDT
A recently published study investigates whether individuals with a higher BMI before menopause have a lower risk of developing breast cancer.
Alcohol, mortality, and cancer risk: Is moderation key?
Published: Wed, 20 Jun 2018 03:00:00 PDT
There have been many studies on alcohol and its impact on health, but the relationship is not fully understood. A new, large-scale study investigates.
Uses and risks of mitoxantine (Novantrone)
Published: Wed, 20 Jun 2018 00:00:00 PDT
Mitoxantrone is used to treat some types of multiple sclerosis (MS) and some types of cancer. It is given as an intravenous infusion in a clinical setting. Some serious side effects are possible, and it is important to discuss the risks and any existing health conditions with the doctor. Novantrone is a trade name.
Colon cancer: Scientists find new predisposition mechanism
Published: Tue, 19 Jun 2018 00:00:00 PDT
New research finds a novel mechanism that genetically predisposes some people to the development of colon polyps and potentially cancer.
Vitamin D may decrease breast cancer risk, study reports
Published: Mon, 18 Jun 2018 07:00:00 PDT
Vitamin D is crucial to our health, and now, new research has found a 'marked' association between blood levels of this vitamin and breast cancer risk.
Prostate cancer: Scientists find 63 'new genetic markers'
Published: Mon, 18 Jun 2018 00:00:00 PDT
Research locates new genetic markers that may show an elevated risk of developing prostate cancer. This will help to identify men who need early screening.
How could designer proteins thwart cancer?
Published: Fri, 15 Jun 2018 08:00:00 PDT
Cancer boosts the abnormal growth of cells by 'hijacking' sensitive molecular mechanisms. Can researchers fight back by designing specialized proteins?
What to know about a stomach tissue biopsy
Published: Fri, 15 Jun 2018 06:00:00 PDT
A gastric (stomach) tissue biopsy and culture is a medical procedure used to diagnose stomach conditions. A stomach biopsy can detect bacteria, inflammation, and cancers. It is usually performed with an endoscope. Here, learn what to expect before, during, and after a gastric biopsy, including results and recovery.
