A member asked:

Is it possible that stomach cancer invades the fibroadipose tissue of pancreas without touching distant/other organs? if so, is it curable (literally)

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Yes, it is: When the tumor has grown through the wall of the stomach, then the next places it invades are the surroundings, like Pancreas. It is still possible to cure some such cases although it is by then an advanced stage of disease and cures will be few and far between.
