Chemotherapy for Stomach Cancer in Kharkiv — Modern Treatment and Comprehensive Support
Chemotherapy for stomach cancer is a key stage of treatment that helps shrink the tumor before surgery and destroy residual cancer cells afterward. At the Brigid Medical Center, we apply a multimodal approach, combining the most advanced medications, surgery, and nutritional support to give you the best chance for recovery while preserving quality of life.
Advantages of Stomach Cancer Treatment at the Brigid Medical Center
Genetic diagnostics
We test the tumor for HER2, PD-L1, and MSI markers to select “smart” targeted therapies tailored specifically to you.
Individualized treatment strategy
We tailor therapy based on tumor type (intestinal or diffuse), significantly improving treatment effectiveness.
Effective FLOT protocol
We use the global standard of care: chemotherapy before surgery and continued afterward for optimal outcomes.
Modern medications
We apply the latest drug combinations and immunotherapy that act precisely on cancer cells.
Accurate staging
We perform comprehensive diagnostics using endoscopy, CT, and PET-CT to accurately determine disease stage.
Nutritional support
We help maintain body weight and strength through specialized nutritional formulas and dietary planning.
What types of chemotherapy do we provide?
The choice of approach depends on the disease stage and overall health status:
- Perioperative chemotherapy (before and after surgery): helps reduce the tumor to an operable state and prevents recurrence.
- Adjuvant (preventive) therapy: prescribed after surgery to eliminate microscopic residual disease.
- Conversion therapy: intensive treatment for patients whose tumors were initially unresectable.
- Palliative (therapeutic) treatment: aimed at symptom relief, pain reduction, and life prolongation at advanced stages.
- Targeted and immunotherapy: use of drugs that act on specific tumor proteins.
When does a physician prescribe chemotherapy for stomach cancer?
Clinical situations:
- Tumor invasion into deeper layers of the stomach wall (stages IB–III).
- Involvement of regional lymph nodes.
- The need to shrink the tumor before surgery to allow complete resection.
- Presence of metastases in other organs (liver, peritoneum).
- Recurrence of the disease after previous treatment.
We take everything into account:
Our multidisciplinary tumor board обязательно evaluates the tumor’s HER2 status. If positive, we add a specific targeted agent (trastuzumab) to chemotherapy, significantly improving treatment prognosis.
Comprehensive care and recovery support
Treatment for stomach cancer is often accompanied by loss of appetite and weight, which is why at the Brigid Medical Center we provide:

- Anemia management: monitoring hemoglobin levels to maintain strength and energy.
