Prognosis of Stomach cancer discussion: Cancer of the stomach is difficult to cure unless it is found in an early stage (before it has begun to spread). Unfortunately, because early stomach cancer causes few symptoms, the disease is usually advanced when the diagnosis is made. However, advanced stomach cancer can be treated and the symptoms can be relieved. (Source: excerpt from What You Need To Know About Stomach Cancer: NCI)
