About Abdominal Cancer

Before understanding the treatments available for abdominal cancer, it’s important to understand that the term “abdominal cancer” doesn’t refer to one specific condition – rather, it’s a blanket term for any cancer that forms inside of the abdominal cavity. Accordingly, abdominal cancer can refer to any of the following conditions:

• Liver Cancer
• Stomach (Gastric) Cancer
• Kidney Cancer (Renal Cell Cancer)
• Colorectal Cancer
• Pancreatic Cancer
• Adrenocortical Cancer (cancer of the glands that produce adrenaline)
• Primary Peritoneal Cancer (cancer of the thin lining of the abdomen)
• Peritoneal Mesothelioma (cancer of the abdominal lining that is specifically caused by asbestos exposure)

Treatment Options for Abdominal Cancer

Because there are so many specific forms of abdominal cancer, the treatment options available to any one patient will depend on both their specific cancerous condition and factors like the stage of their cancer and medical history. At Palo Verde Cancer Specialists, we’re proud to offer a wide range of expert cancer treatments, and your cancer care team will work with you to choose the treatment that makes the most sense for your condition and health situation. Cancer treatment options for abdominal cancer may include:

• CyberKnife Radiation Therapy
• TrueBeam Radiation Therapy
• Tomotherapy
• Chemotherapy
• Immunotherapy
• Targeted Therapy
• Surgery

Often, your cancer doctor will elect to combine two or more of these treatments to get the best overall result – it all depends on the specifics of your case and condition.
