Dear Friend,

Help us to provide a just and powerful voice to promote awareness of gastric cancers. A collective voice can achieve an opportunity to save more lives due to early diagnosis, and a greater understanding of these life threatening conditions. Also to provide up-to date consistent information not only to the general public but to health professionals and medical research teams in a greater effort to eradicate this dreadful disease.

S.C.A.N. welcomes any information from those members of the public who have had, or have experience of gastric cancer, especially those who care for patients and their families. We would also like to include Health Professionals who are involved in any aspect of research and care.

All correspondence and information will be treated in total confidence; any material released for informative newsletters and other forms of publication, will be by writers consent.

S.C.A.N. is a registered Charity (Reg. No. 1071188). The trustees embrace a broad band of experience to enable us, with your help, to make your voice heard where it most counts.

Total Gastrectomy

S.C.A.N. is a newly established charity organisation with National Roots to promote greater awareness to the cause, early diagnosis, remedial and palliative care of the fourth highest cancer prominent at present in the UK, predominantly amongst the male population.

Action at an early stage of any symptomatic disease related to the gastric area must be deemed imperative - early diagnosis can produce a positive reduction in the fatality figures.

Cancer in most forms is an underlying disease lying dormant and undetected until later stages when curative measures to combat an increasingly violent progression becomes in many situations a challenge that the medical profession is unable to answer.

New methodology and a greater understanding of the effects of radical surgery at an early stage of diagnosis can offer the patient a more optimistic and positive view of sustaining his/her life at a quality level following the onset of this cancerous development.
