Gastrointestinal (GI) cancers are a group of cancers that affect the GI tract and accessory organs of the digestive system, such as colorectal cancer, gastric cancer, esophageal cancer, pancreatic cancer, liver cancer and gastrointestinal stromal tumor (GIST).
Different treatment strategies are available for GI cancers depending on the cancer type and disease stage – including surgery, chemotherapy and radiation therapy, which may be employed alone or in-combination in a neoadjuvant or adjuvant set-up. With recent breakthroughs in uncovering the molecular basis of different GI cancers, targeted therapy and immunotherapy have proven effective in treating GI cancer patients with specific genetic biomarkers.
