GI Oncology

GI oncology, or gastrointestinal oncology, is the branch of medicine that focuses on cancers affecting the digestive system, including the esophagus, stomach, liver, pancreas, intestines, and rectum. Specialists in this field diagnose and treat conditions like colorectal cancer, stomach cancer, and liver tumors. Treatment options may include surgery, chemotherapy, radiation, and targeted therapies. GI oncologists work closely with other healthcare professionals to provide comprehensive care, often considering a patient's overall health and preferences while addressing the complexities of cancer treatment and management.
