To tell exact stage I need to see the full biopsy report. As per the imaging it will be stage II or III. There are 2 schools of thought. Upfront surgery vs upfront chemotherapy. I would suggest chemotherapy first for 3 cycles followed by surgery and then 3 more cycles of chemotherapy. I dont know anybody in mysore. If you are coming down to Bangalore you can meet me in Vydehi cancer center.

It seems, that he is suffering from Stomach Cancer, Stage 2-3. Biopsy report would be awaited. In case, he is not able to eat, or is continuously vomitting, or is having blood in vomitus, he would need surgery first, else chemotherapy followed by surgery. Please consult for any further queries.
