Chemotherapy is the usual course of treatment for stage IV stomach cancer, although prognoses are still dismal. Uncertainty exists over the efficacy of induction chemotherapy followed by surgery in certain individuals who had a satisfactory response to chemotherapy.

The percentage of persons with the same type and stage of cancer who are still alive five years (or more) after their diagnosis can be determined by looking at survival rates.
