About Gastrointestinal Oncology
Gastrointestinal oncology treats cancers of the digestive tract and liver with medicines, often combined with surgery and radiation. Persistent indigestion, difficulty swallowing, blood in stool or unexplained weight loss need investigation.
Colorectal cancer screening from about 45 to 50 can find polyps and early cancer when it is most curable.
