About gastrointestinal cancers

About gastrointestinal cancers

The Gastrointestinal (GI) tract is the tract that includes your digestive organs. Cancers that affect your gastrointestinal tract and related digestive organs are collectively referred to as gastrointestinal cancers.

The most common types of gastrointestinal cancers include oesophagal cancer, stomach cancer, gallbladder cancer, colorectal cancer, liver cancer and pancreatic cancer.

Gastrointestinal cancer symptoms

In its early stages, it can be difficult to detect any gastrointestinal cancer symptoms. Most symptoms are visible once the tumour has advanced. The symptoms majorly depend upon the type, location and stage of cancer. These include:

  • Pain, swelling and cramps in the abdomen
  • Presence of blood in the stool
  • Changes in bowel movement
  • Difficulty in swallowing
  • Problems with digestion
  • Jaundice
  • Nausea and vomiting
  • Fatigue
  • Weakness
  • Unexplained weight loss
  • Loss of appetite
Gastrointestinal cancer diagnosis

Based on your risk factors and display of symptoms, your doctor may recommend certain tests to diagnose your GI cancer. Common tests and procedures include:

  • Endoscopy
  • Colonoscopy
  • Blood tests
  • MRI
  • X-ray
  • CT scan
  • PET scan
  • Biopsy
Gastrointestinal cancer treatment

Your treatment protocol will depend on factors like the type, location and stage of cancer as well as your general health, age and risk factors. Common treatment methods include surgical removal of tumours, chemotherapy, radiation therapy and immunotherapy.
