Gastrointestinal Cancer Surgery
Gastrointestinal cancer surgery is a form of surgery used to treat the cancer in the gastrointestinal tract, the part of the body responsible for the digestion and absorption of food. It involves the removal of a tumour either through open surgery or minimally invasive techniques such as keyhole surgery. Surgery is an important part of the treatment for many gastrointestinal cancers, and can provide the best chance for complete removal of the cancer and possible cure. The surgery may be combined with chemotherapy or radiotherapy or both, depending on the type and stage of the cancer. Gastrointestinal cancer surgery can be difficult and complex, but advances in technology and medical research have improved surgical outcomes and made the surgery safer.
