Surgery of canine stomach cancer depends upon the type of cancer. Canine stomach cancer is not common and is only 1% of all canine cancers. It is usually diagnosed at 8 years of age. Stomach cancer in dogs can be Adenocarcinoma, Mast cells tumors, Leiomyosarcomas and Lymphoma. Signs and symptoms are vomiting, pain, loss of appetite, reduced activities, increased respiratory rates, scratching or licking a particular area and not willing to move.
Surgery is done if cancer has not spread except for lymphoma. Chemotherapy does not help too much. Radiotherapy can be dangerous for delicate organs. In short, canine stomach cancer has poor prognosis and most dogs can live for 6 months even with the treatment.
