Exams and Tests:
The following tests can help diagnose gastric cancer:
Complete blood count (CBC) to check for anemia
Esophagogastroduodenoscopy (EGD) with biopsy

Treatment:
Surgical removal of the stomach (gastrectomy) is the only curative treatment. Radiation therapy and chemotherapy may be beneficial.
