Gastrointestinal Tumors

Gastrointestinal tumors are abnormal growths that develop in the digestive tract, which includes the esophagus, stomach, intestines, pancreas, liver, and other related organs. These tumors can be benign (non-cancerous) or malignant (cancerous). Malignant tumors can invade nearby tissues or spread to other parts of the body, impacting digestion and overall health. Symptoms may include pain, weight loss, nausea, or changes in bowel habits, but they can vary. Diagnosis often involves imaging, endoscopy, and biopsies. Treatment options depend on the tumor type and stage and may include surgery, chemotherapy, radiation therapy, or targeted therapies.
