The malignant cells come from the lining of the stomach wall. At first the cells stay within the lining of the stomach (in-situ carcinoma). Later they spread into the wall of the stomach (invasive cancer), making a deep ulcer. The ulcer can become fixed to the nearby tissues, such as the bowel or liver. Some of the bowel or the liver may need to be removed to clear the tumour.The aim is to remove any malignant tumour with some or all of the stomach. Some of the oesophagus or duodenum may also need to be removed. The nearby lymph glands need to be removed, to see whether there are any malignant cells in them. If so, drug treatment may be needed in the future.
