Cancers covered
Short answer: This group includes oesophageal and stomach cancer, pancreato-biliary and gall bladder cancer, liver cancer, and colorectal and anal canal cancers. Each behaves differently and is staged and treated on its own terms.
Multidisciplinary treatment
GI cancers frequently need coordinated input from surgical, medical and radiation oncology. Systemic therapy may be used before surgery to downstage a tumour, after surgery to lower recurrence risk, or as the primary treatment in advanced disease.
Advances in gall bladder and liver cancer
Treatment paradigms in gall bladder cancer and hepatocellular carcinoma have shifted with the addition of immunotherapy to systemic regimens. Dr. Ramawat has served as a panelist on the changing treatment paradigm in gall bladder cancer at the Global Oncology Forum, UP Chapter.
Screening and early detection
Colorectal cancer is one of the few cancers that screening can prevent outright, by removing precancerous polyps. Screening is generally advised from age 45 for average-risk adults, and earlier for those with a family history or inflammatory bowel disease.

Frequently asked questions
Persistent change in bowel habit, blood in the stool, difficulty swallowing, prolonged indigestion, unexplained weight loss, or jaundice should all be evaluated. These symptoms have many benign causes, but they warrant investigation rather than waiting.
Colon cancer detected early is highly curable, often with surgery followed by chemotherapy where indicated. Even in selected patients with limited spread to the liver, treatment can still be given with curative intent.
Average-risk adults are generally advised to begin screening around age 45. People with a first-degree relative diagnosed with colorectal cancer, an inherited syndrome such as Lynch syndrome, or inflammatory bowel disease should start earlier and be screened more frequently.
