Stomach & Bowel Cancer Care Hospital in Himatnagar
Cancers of the stomach, colon and rectum often cause vague symptoms at first – indigestion, a change in bowel habits, blood in stools, weight loss or anaemia. These symptoms should not be ignored, especially after 45. At Pluto Hospital, Himatnagar, suspected digestive cancers are evaluated with CT and biopsy, and treated with surgery by our gastro-surgical team, with chemotherapy coordinated as needed.
Understanding the Condition
About Digestive Cancers
Stomach cancer may follow years of untreated H. pylori infection or a diet high in salted and smoked foods. Bowel (colorectal) cancer often begins as a small growth (polyp) that slowly turns cancerous. Bleeding from the back passage is often blamed on piles – but it should always be checked.
Risk Factors
- Age over 45
- Family history of bowel cancer
- Smoking and alcohol
- Diet high in red and processed meat, low in fibre
- Long-standing H. pylori infection (stomach)
- Obesity and inactivity

Common Questions
Digestive Cancer FAQs
Is blood in stool always piles?
No. Piles are common, but bowel cancer can also cause bleeding. Bleeding should always be checked, especially after 45.
Can bowel cancer be prevented?
Screening can find and remove polyps before they turn into cancer. A high-fibre diet and staying active also help.
Is stomach cancer curable?
Early stomach cancer can often be cured with surgery. Later stages are treated with surgery and chemotherapy.
Will I need a colostomy bag?
Not always. Many bowel cancer operations don’t need a permanent bag. Your surgeon will explain.
What tests are needed?
Blood tests, CT scan, and endoscopy or colonoscopy with biopsy, arranged as advised.
