Gastrointestinal Oncology
Gastrointestinal (GI) cancers are common, comprising almost one-quarter of all cancers diagnosed in the India. The most commonly encountered GI cancers are colorectal, oesophagogastric, pancreatic and hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC).
The Gastrointestinal Medical Oncology department is a team of highly specialized medical oncologists, scientists, physician assistants and research nurses who treat gastrointestinal malignancies, including cancers of the liver, bile duct, gallbladder, pancreas, large and small bowel, stomach, esophagus and rare tumors.
Cancer is one of the leading causes resulting in deaths, disorders, and disabilities, worldwide. Among all the organ cancers, gastrointestinal tract cancer follows a peculiar distribution pattern all over the world. They are responsible for more deaths than any other cancers. Also referred to as stomach cancer, these malignant gastric tumors are majorly found in people aged between 50 to 70 years. However, they are more common among male individuals.
