Stomach Cancer
Stomach cancer care usually runs chemotherapy before surgery, then surgery to remove part or all of the stomach, then more chemotherapy. Surgery changes how you eat permanently, so nutrition support and vitamin B12 shots become lifelong costs. Stage at diagnosis drives everything: disease found early is far less expensive and far more survivable than disease found after it has spread.
