Endoscopic therapy is usually only applicable for stomach cancer in the early stages and recommended by your surgeon on a case-by-case basis.<\/p>\n<p>Dr. Tan also works closely with a team of medical oncologists and radiologists to provide comprehensive cancer care for his patients. Chemotherapy is a treatment that uses drugs to inhibit cancer cells and slow down the growth of tumors.
