In extreme cases of stomach cancer, all of the stomach can be removed with the exception of the espohogeal valve and a small portion below it. If this is done, life for the patient can go on relativly normally. The patient will have to eat smaller portions more often, but it does not drastically affect the quality of life. Some people actually have this done in cases of morbid obesity. It is called a radical bypass. The major side effect is extreme weight loss.
