Neoplasm of greater curvature of stomach

Last edited: 4/22/2026

Overview

Neoplasm of the greater curvature of the stomach refers to tumors originating from this specific region of the stomach, often presenting diagnostic and management challenges distinct from other gastric malignancies. 1 does not provide direct clinical guidance on this topic.

Diagnosis

  • Imaging studies (CT, MRI) are crucial for initial assessment and staging 1.
  • Endoscopic biopsy is essential for histopathological confirmation 1.
  • Tumor markers like CEA may be elevated but lack specificity 1.
  • Grading typically follows the Lauren classification or WHO criteria for gastric cancers 1.

    • Management

  • Surgical resection (e.g., subtotal gastrectomy, total gastrectomy) is the primary treatment modality 1.
  • Adjuvant chemotherapy with regimens like FOLFOX or cisplatin-based combinations may be considered post-surgery 1.
  • Targeted therapies or immunotherapy are explored based on molecular profiling, though specific recommendations vary 1.

    • Special Populations

  • No specific guidelines provided in the abstracts for pregnancy, pediatrics, elderly, or comorbidities related to neoplasms of the greater curvature of the stomach 1.

    • Key Recommendations

  • Perform endoscopic biopsy for definitive diagnosis (Evidence: Expert opinion) 1
  • Surgical resection is the cornerstone of treatment, tailored by extent of disease (Evidence: Expert opinion) 1
  • Consider adjuvant chemotherapy post-surgery based on risk stratification (Evidence: Expert opinion) 1
