How long is the typical treatment and recovery timeline?

For early-stage gastric cancer treated with ESD, the procedure itself takes about 1–2 hours, followed by a hospital stay of 3–5 days and a recovery period of 2–4 weeks. For advanced cases requiring surgery and chemotherapy, the full treatment cycle may last 3–6 months, with an additional 4–8 weeks for post-surgical recovery. Your medical team will provide a personalized timeline based on your specific condition.
