Advanced gastric cancer can be treated, but rarely can be cured.
If your mother is free of distant metastases, then radical surgery with following chemoradiation (chemotherapy and radiotherapy) is suggested.
When metastases are present, chemoradiotherapy is usually, performed.
You may search for clinical trials, that are done to improve treatment.
