Yes .the treatment planned is correct.U may order tumour marker pre op such as CEA and CA19-9 .this helps post op to detect recurrence.Pt may require chemotherapy post resection depending on the histopathology report.

Dear Doctor if allow me i will suggest some homeopathic approach for Adeno carcinoma with loss of weight.
Homeopathy can be used as supportive treatment.

According to your report there is no evidence of metastasis, it is better to try Homeopathy.
If pain present Calcaria.Carb 30 helps to reduce pain.
Ferrum.Phos also helps to produce blood cells to reduce anemia.
For alternate constipation and diarrhea Nux vom 30 helpful.
