Gastrointestinal Tumors

Gastrointestinal tumors are abnormal growths of cells in the digestive system. These tumors can be either benign (non-cancerous) or malignant (cancerous). Common gastrointestinal tumors include colon cancer, stomach cancer, and rectal cancer. Early diagnosis and treatment are essential to effectively manage these tumors, as some can spread to other parts of the body. Treatment usually consists of chemotherapy, radiation, and/or surgery, depending on the type and stage of the tumor. Gastrointestinal tumors can drastically reduce quality of life and even be fatal if not promptly and properly treated.
