Video Transcript:
Now we come to the treatment for metastatic disease.
It may present as metastasis to the liver or peritoneum or lungs, one or both the ovaries.
It may also present as pelvic deposits in rectrovesical pouch or pouch of Douglas.
Or involvement of left supraclavicular lymph node, presenting as swelling in the left side of neck.
Or as a nodule in the periumbilical region, called as Sister Mary Joesph module.
Very rarely, it may present as metastasis to brain or bones. In all these cases of metastatic disease, chemotherapy is the mainstay of treatment.
But other modalities like surgery, radiation therapy or bone directed therapy maybe used for palliation or relief of symptoms.
Always remember that the treatment for metastatic disease is not generally curative, so the intent of the treatment is prolongation of life, reduction of symptoms and improvement of quality of life.
So this brings us to the end of the treatment for stomach cancer.
