Gastrointestinal oncology focuses on the diagnosis, treatment, management, and palliative care of cancers that affect the gastrointestinal tract and surrounding organs, such as the biliary duct, liver, and pancreas. These cancers often manifest as malignant tumors and ulcers within the stomach and can spread throughout the gastrointestinal system.

Conditions We Treat
- Esophageal Cancer
The esophagus is a long muscular tube connecting the throat to the stomach, responsible for transporting food and liquids. Esophageal cancer occurs when abnormal cell division leads to tumors. Treatment may involve surgical tumor removal, resection of a portion of the esophagus, or complete esophagectomy. - Stomach Cancer
Also known as gastric cancer, stomach cancer refers to a range of malignancies affecting any part of the stomach. Treatment approaches depend on the cancer’s stage, location, and severity. - Liver Cancer
Liver cancer arises when cancerous cells form in the liver, a pouch-sized organ responsible for bile production. There are primary and secondary liver cancers. Treatment may include partial or total hepatectomy along with medical management. - Bile Duct Cancer
Bile duct cancer, a rare form of gastrointestinal cancer, affects the thin tubes that connect the liver to the small intestine. Treatment depends on cancer location and stage, as well as the patient’s age and overall health. - Gallbladder Cancer
Gallbladder cancer occurs when healthy cells in the gallbladder grow abnormally. Symptoms often include abdominal pain, bloating, unexplained weight loss, and jaundice. - Pancreatic Cancer
The pancreas, which produces enzymes for digestion and regulates blood sugar, can develop cancer leading to symptoms like jaundice, abdominal pain, changes in bowel movements, worsening diabetes, and nausea. Treatment options include tumor removal, chemotherapy, immunotherapy, and targeted therapy. - Colon Cancer
Colon cancer affects the large intestine and is more common in older adults, though it can occur at any age. Symptoms may include changes in bowel habits, blood in stool, abdominal pain, and unexplained weight loss. Treatment involves surgery, chemotherapy, targeted therapy, and immunotherapy. - Rectal Cancer
Rectal cancer develops in the rectum, the final segment of the colon. Symptoms often include changes in bowel habits, blood in stool, abdominal pain, unexplained weight loss, and fatigue. Treatment options range from surgical removal of small cancers to partial or full resection of the rectum. - Peritoneal Surface Malignancies
These malignancies occur in the peritoneal cavity, the space within the abdomen that houses the stomach, intestines, and liver. They can develop from pre-existing cancers, including stomach, colorectal, and pancreatic cancers. - Neuroendocrine Tumors
Rare cancers that originate in specialized neuroendocrine cells can develop in various body parts, including the lungs, appendix, small intestine, rectum, and pancreas. - Anal Cancer
Anal cancer develops in the tissues of the anus and is often linked to human papillomavirus (HPV) infection. Symptoms may include rectal bleeding, pain or pressure in the anal region, changes in bowel habits, and lumps near the anus. Diagnosis typically involves physical exams, imaging tests, and biopsies, with treatment options varying based on cancer stage and individual factors. - Peritoneal Cancer
This rare cancer affects the peritoneum, the thin membrane lining the abdominal cavity. It can originate in the peritoneum or spread from other organs. Symptoms may include abdominal pain, swelling, bowel habit changes, nausea, or unexplained weight loss. Diagnosis and treatment involve imaging tests and biopsies, with a focus on surgical removal of tumors, followed by chemotherapy or targeted therapy. - Small Intestine Cancer
Small intestine cancer, a rare malignancy, arises in the tissues of the small intestine. Common types include adenocarcinoma, carcinoid tumors, gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GISTs), and lymphomas. Symptoms can range from abdominal pain and nausea to changes in bowel habits. Diagnosis often includes imaging tests and biopsies, with treatment typically involving surgery, followed by chemotherapy or radiation therapy.
