Gastrointestinal Cancer

Gastrointestinal Cancer

Gastrointestinal (GI) cancer are a group of cancers that affect the organs of digestive system like Esophagus, Stomach, Small Intestine, Gallbladder, Liver,large intestine or colon, rectum and anus. As per WHO reports GI cancers are the second most common cause of cancer deaths.
Incidence of GI cancers in India are on rise because of lifestyle changes (alcohol abuse, tobacco use ,changes in dietary patterns) and exposure to higher levels of pollution .
Most of the GI cancers, usually start as benign lesions before turning into malignant one, giving a opportunity for early detection and complete cure.

Screening & Prevention

Few ways to reduce overall risk of developing GI malignancy

  • Cancer screening once a year
  • Quit smoking
  • Avoid alcohol consumption
  • Regular physical exercise
  • Immediate treatment of Helicobacter pylori infection if needed
  • Maintain healthy diet.

Diagnosis

Endoscopic tests to diagnose GI cancers include these nonsurgical procedures:
Upper GI endoscopy: Examines the lining of the upper part of the gastrointestinal tract, including the esophagus, stomach, and duodenum.
Colonoscopy and sigmoidoscopy: Used to screen for colorectal cancer.
Biopsy and Molecular testing of the tumor.

Treatment

For upper GI cancers Surgery , Radiation therapy and Chemotherapy all are important. Treatment can be single modality or multimodality depending on stage and site of disease.
For Colon tumors Surgery and Chemotherapy are mainstay of treatment with limited role of Radiaotherapy.
For Anorectal cancers all three modalities are equally important.
