The abdomen is the largest cavity in the body and contains several vital organs, and as such, abdominal cancer is actually a blanket term referring to cancer affecting any organ or tissue within the abdomen. Accordingly, abdominal cancer may refer to any of the following forms of cancer:
The stage of cancer classifies the cancer based on the size of the tumor and how far it has spread. Cancers are generally staged from Stage 0 to Stage IV, often with various sub-stages that are specific to the individual forms of cancer.
Cancer stage is generally determined on a variety of tests including physical exams, endoscopies, biopsies, and imaging tests like CT scans. Your doctor will work with you to administer the proper tests, determine the type and stage of your abdominal cancer, and create a treatment plan.
