The gastrointestinal tract is made up of several organs, including the esophagus, stomach, small
intestine, large intestine (colon), rectum, and anus, which are all involved in the digestion and
absorption of food.
• Esophageal Cancer: It frequently has connections to things like smoking, drinking too much alcohol, and
particular dietary practices.
• Stomach (Gastric) Cancer: Smoking, eating a lot of smoked or salted foods, being genetically predisposed,
and Helicobacter pylori infection are all risk factors.
• Colorectal Cancer: Cancers of the colon and rectum are included in colorectal cancer.
• Liver Cancer: Hepatocellular carcinoma, or primary liver cancer, develops in the cells of the liver.
• Pancreatic cancer: This cancer develops in the pancreas, an organ that creates hormones to control blood
sugar levels and digestive enzymes to aid in digesting.
• Gallbladder Cancer: This cancer affects the gallbladder.
Symptoms of Gastrointestinal cancer
A group of malignancies that affect the digestive system, including the esophagus, stomach, liver, gallbladder,
pancreas, small intestine, large intestine (colon), and rectum, is referred to as gastrointestinal (GI) cancer.
Depending on the precise type and location of the cancer, the symptoms of GI cancer can change.
• Unexplained Weight Loss Jaundice: Suddenly and mysteriously losing weight
• Abdominal Pain or Discomfort: Depending on the location that is afflicted, the pain may be localized or diffuse.
• Change in Bowel Habits: Constipation, diarrhea, or a notable change in the size or shape of the stool could all be
signs of colorectal cancer.
• Blood in Stool: Bright red or black blood in the stool could be symptoms of colorectal cancer or other GI problems.
• Difficulty Swallowing: If you feel that food is becoming stuck in your throat It can be a sign of malignancies of the
upper GI tract.
• Persistent Indigestion or Heartburn: Cancer of the stomach or esophagus may be linked to persistent heartburn,
acid reflux, or indigestion that doesn't go away with over-the-counter remedies.
• Nausea and Vomiting: Cancers of the stomach, liver, or pancreas may be the cause of persistent nausea, vomiting,
or feeling full after a modest meal.
• Jaundice: Cancers of the liver or bile ducts can result in jaundice.
Treatment of Gastrointestinal cancer
The kind and stage of the disease, the patient's general health, and their treatment choices are some of the
variables that affect how gastrointestinal (GI) cancer is treated. Here is a list of the available treatments:
Surgery: For localized GI tumors, surgery is frequently the first line of treatment.
Chemotherapy: Chemotherapy is the application of medications to stop the spread of cancer cells or to limit
their growth.
Radiation Therapy: High-energy rays are used in radiation therapy to find and kill cancer cells.
Targeted Therapy: Drugs used in targeted therapy selectively target certain molecules or pathways thought to
be involved in the development of cancer.
Immunotherapy: Immunotherapy aids the immune system in identifying and combating cancer cells in the
body.
Precision medicine: This can be used to find specific therapies that are more likely to work for a given patient.
Palliative Care: palliative care enhance the patient's quality of life by controlling their symptoms, pain, and
adverse effects from their medications.
Review
I really want to thank Dr. Suddhasattwa Sen. His adept handling of the treatment regimen, which included the
operation and subsequent chemotherapy, was evidence of his knowledge of gastrointestinal oncology. He
demonstrated an in-depth understanding of my condition and patiently explained the intricacies of the
treatment options available. This not only alleviated my concerns but also empowered me to make well-
informed decisions about my treatment. After the treatment I am totally fine and enjoying my life happily. It
was really a challenging journey for me.
