Gastrointestinal malignancies, also known as gastrointestinal cancers, are a group of cancers that affect various parts of the gastrointestinal (GI) tract. The GI tract is a long, hollow tube that starts from the mouth and ends at the anus, and it includes organs such as the esophagus, stomach, small intestine, large intestine (colon), rectum, and anus. Gastrointestinal malignancies can occur in any of these organs and may also involve nearby structures.
Treatment options often include surgery, chemotherapy, radiation therapy, targeted therapy, and immunotherapy, depending on the type and stage of cancer. Additionally, lifestyle modifications and supportive care play essential roles in managing gastrointestinal malignancies and improving patients’ quality of life.
