Gastrointestinal cancer surgery refers to surgical procedures to diagnose, treat, or manage cancers that affect the digestive system. The gastrointestinal tract includes the esophagus, stomach, small intestine, large intestine (colon and rectum), liver, gallbladder, and pancreas. Surgery is often a crucial part of gastrointestinal cancer treatment and may be used alone or in combination with other therapies such as chemotherapy, radiation therapy, or targeted therapy.
