Gastric tumors can be treated surgically, or managed with radiation therapy, chemotherapy, and immunotherapy. The specific treatment approach depends on whether the tumor is benign or malignant. Benign gastric tumors can be treated by surgical removal, while malignant gastric tumors require not only surgery but also radiation therapy, chemotherapy, and immunotherapy.
