Stomach Cancer Doctor in Kolkata

Do you often feel bloated, full too quickly, or experience constant stomach discomfort?

These signs may seem harmless, but they could point to severe and more concerning stomach cancer, a serious but mostly overlooked condition, especially in its early stages. Dr. (Maj) Ranajoy Dutta, a highly skilled stomach cancer surgeon in Kolkata, offers accurate diagnosis and personalized treatment plans combining discipline, precision, and compassion, helping patients fight cancer confidently.

What Is Stomach Cancer?

Stomach cancer, or gastric cancer, occurs when cells in the stomach lining grow abnormally and develop a tumour. It typically begins in the inner lining (mucosa) and can spread deeper into the stomach layers and nearby organs if not detected early. Though less common than some other cancers, it remains a major health concern in India, especially among individuals with diets high in salt, smoked foods, or chronic H. pylori infections.

Stomach Cancer Treatment in Kolkata

Surgery is often the primary mode of stomach cancer treatment, which may involve partial or total gastrectomy to remove the tumour and affected tissues.

In many cases, chemotherapy is given either before surgery (neoadjuvant) to shrink the tumour or after (adjuvant) to eliminate residual cancer cells. Radiation therapy is sometimes used in combination with chemotherapy to improve local tumour control.

For advanced or metastatic cases, especially those that are HER2-positive, targeted therapy and immunotherapy are viable options to help slow disease progression and manage symptoms.

Under Dr. (Maj) Ranajoy Dutta’s care, stomach cancer treatment in Kolkata are customized with precision, aiming for the best possible outcome with the least disruption to the patient’s quality of life.
