Gastrointestinal System Cancers

A diseased gastrointestinal system may involve tumors of your throat, esophagus, liver, pancreas, colon or rectum.

A major benefit of improved procedures to treat these cancers is that organs once thought to be medically untouchable are now very treatable. This leads to more cures, healthier lives and longer spans of symptom-free living.

Comprehensive therapy involving these sites done in a cooperative manner at any stage of the disease brings great advantages. Naturally, early diagnosis is better.

When advisable, pre-operative radiation and chemotherapy lead to better outcomes, ultimately to less surgery and improved expectations.

Fear of gastrointestinal system evaluation and debilitating surgery is an issue of the past. We use newer procedures for looking into and treating the lower intestinal region, greatly reducing discomfort, and the need for debilitating surgery. There is no undue embarrassment in either evaluation or treatment of these diseases.

We are vigilant in follow-up. Modern maintenance techniques that monitor high-risk patients let us increase our control of the tumor site and reduce recurrence possibilities.
