Gastrointestinal Cancer

Gastrointestinal Cancer

Precision-driven cancer care combining surgical excellence, robotic technology, and multidisciplinary expertise.

The gastrointestinal system spans from the food pipe to the rectum and includes vital digestive organs such as the stomach, liver, pancreas, gallbladder, and intestines. Cancers that develop in this system can significantly affect digestion, nutrition, and overall health. Early diagnosis and expert surgical care are among the most important factors in achieving the best possible outcomes.

Symptoms of Gastrointestinal Cancer You Should Not Ignore

Early detection makes a real difference in gastrointestinal cancer outcomes. Speak to a specialist if you or a loved one experiences any of the following for more than two weeks:

Persistent abdominal pain or discomfort

Unexplained weight loss and loss of appetite

Difficulty swallowing or pain while swallowing

Nausea, vomiting, or feeling full quickly after eating

Blood in the stool or black tarry stools

Rectal bleeding or changes in bowel habits

Jaundice (yellowing of the skin or eyes)

Persistent bloating or abdominal swelling

A lump or mass in the abdomen

These symptoms do not always mean cancer, but they should never be ignored. Early evaluation by an experienced Gastrointestinal Cancer Doctor can make all the difference.

Types of Gastrointestinal Cancer Treated

Gastrointestinal cancer treatment includes cancers of the oesophagus, stomach, pancreas, liver, gallbladder, colon, rectum, and anus, managed using advanced cancer surgery and robotic techniques.

Colorectal Cancer Treatment

Colorectal cancer develops in the colon or rectum and is one of the most common cancers worldwide. When detected early, Colorectal Cancer Treatment can achieve excellent outcomes. Treatment may involve robotic or minimally invasive surgery, chemotherapy, radiation therapy, and targeted therapy depending on the stage.

Stomach Cancer Treatment (Gastric Cancer)

Stomach cancer develops in the lining of the stomach and may present with persistent indigestion, weight loss, or difficulty eating. Stomach Cancer Treatment typically involves surgery, chemotherapy, and targeted therapy, coordinated as part of a comprehensive treatment plan.

Liver Cancer Treatment

Liver cancer may arise in the liver itself (hepatocellular carcinoma) or spread from other organs. Liver Cancer Treatment options include surgery, liver resection, ablation techniques, targeted therapy, and immunotherapy, depending on the extent of disease and liver function.

Gallbladder Cancer Treatment

Gallbladder cancer is often diagnosed at an advanced stage due to the absence of early symptoms. Gallbladder Cancer Treatment typically involves surgical removal of the gallbladder and surrounding tissues, combined with chemotherapy or radiation therapy for advanced cases.

Pancreatic Cancer Treatment

Pancreatic cancer is one of the more challenging cancers to treat, requiring highly specialised surgical expertise. Pancreatic Cancer Treatment may involve complex surgery such as Whipple's procedure (pancreaticoduodenectomy), combined with chemotherapy and radiation therapy.

Bile Duct Cancer Treatment (Cholangiocarcinoma)

Bile duct cancer develops in the ducts that carry bile from the liver to the small intestine. Bile Duct Cancer Treatment requires specialised surgical management and may involve surgery, chemotherapy, radiation therapy, and targeted therapies depending on tumour location and stage.

Oesophageal Cancer Treatment

Oesophageal cancer develops in the food pipe and commonly presents with progressive difficulty swallowing and weight loss. Oesophageal Cancer Treatment typically involves a combination of surgery, chemotherapy, and radiation therapy, carefully coordinated for each patient.

Small Intestinal Cancer Treatment

Small intestinal cancers are rare but require careful evaluation and specialised management. Small Intestinal Cancer Treatment depends on the tumour type, location, and stage and may involve surgery combined with chemotherapy or targeted therapy

How Is Gastrointestinal Cancer Diagnosed?

Accurate diagnosis is the foundation of effective treatment. The diagnostic process at Dr. Dabas's clinic typically includes:

Clinical Examination A thorough assessment of the abdomen and digestive system to identify any abnormalities, including palpation for lumps or organ enlargement.

Endoscopy and Colonoscopy Direct visualisation of the oesophagus, stomach, and colon using a flexible camera to identify tumours, polyps, or suspicious lesions and collect tissue samples.

Endoscopic Ultrasound (EUS) Used to assess the depth of tumour invasion and evaluate nearby lymph nodes, particularly in oesophageal, stomach, and pancreatic cancers.

Biopsy A small tissue sample is taken from the suspected tumour site and examined under a microscope to confirm the diagnosis and identify the exact cancer type and subtype.

Advanced Imaging Depending on the case, imaging studies may include:

  • CT Scan (abdomen and pelvis)
  • MRI Scan
  • PET-CT Scan
  • Ultrasound

These help determine the exact size and location of the tumour, whether lymph nodes are involved, and whether the cancer has spread elsewhere.

Gastrointestinal Cancer Treatment Options

Treatment is always planned individually, based on the cancer type, location, stage, and the patient's overall health and personal priorities.

Surgery

For most gastrointestinal cancers, surgery remains the cornerstone of treatment. The focus is on complete tumour removal while preserving as much of the digestive system and its function as possible.

Radiation Therapy

High-energy beams are used to destroy cancer cells. Radiation therapy may be used as a primary treatment, before surgery to shrink the tumour, or after surgery to reduce the risk of recurrence.

Chemotherapy

Chemotherapy drugs may be recommended before surgery, after surgery, or as the primary treatment for advanced gastrointestinal cancers.

Targeted Therapy

Targeted therapies act on specific molecular pathways involved in gastrointestinal cancer growth, offering a more precise approach for selected patients with specific tumour profiles.

Immunotherapy

Immunotherapy helps the body's immune system identify and attack cancer cells. It is increasingly used in the treatment of advanced colorectal cancer, gastric cancer, and selected other gastrointestinal cancers.

Robotic Surgery for Gastrointestinal Cancer

Robotic Surgery for Gastrointestinal Cancer

Advances in surgical technology have transformed gastrointestinal cancer surgery. As one of India's foremost experts in Robotic Cancer Surgery, Dr. Surender Dabas offers advanced robotic GI surgical procedures that combine exceptional precision with a significantly less invasive approach.

Potential Benefits of Robotic Surgery for Gastrointestinal Cancer Patients

  • Smaller incisions compared to open abdominal surgery
  • Reduced blood loss during surgery
  • Less post-operative pain
  • Faster recovery and earlier return to daily activities
  • Shorter hospital stay
  • Enhanced three-dimensional visualisation during surgery
  • Better access to deep and confined abdominal structures
  • Reduced risk of surgical complications

Variations of Robotic Surgery for Gastrointestinal Cancer

Robotic surgery for gastrointestinal cancer includes minimally invasive procedures for oesophageal, stomach, pancreatic, liver, colorectal, and other digestive system cancers.

Robotic Colorectal Surgery (Robotic Anterior Resection / LAR)

Robotic colorectal surgery allows the surgeon to remove cancerous sections of the colon or rectum through small keyhole incisions, with enhanced precision and three-dimensional visualisation. Robotic techniques are particularly valuable in rectal surgery, where operating in the narrow pelvic space requires exceptional precision to preserve bladder and sexual function alongside oncological control.

Robotic Gastrectomy

Robotic Gastrectomy involves the partial or complete removal of the stomach for gastric cancer using robotic techniques. The robotic approach enables precise lymph node dissection and reconstruction within the abdominal cavity through small incisions, reducing post-operative complications and supporting faster recovery compared to conventional open surgery.

Robotic Liver Resection

For selected liver cancers, robotic liver resection allows removal of the tumour-bearing portion of the liver through minimally invasive keyhole incisions. The robotic system provides the surgeon with the precision and control needed to operate safely near major blood vessels while minimising blood loss and recovery time.

Robotic Whipple Procedure (Robotic Pancreaticoduodenectomy)

The Whipple procedure is one of the most complex operations in cancer surgery. Robotic Whipple surgery allows this intricate procedure to be performed through small incisions, offering patients the potential benefits of faster recovery and reduced complications compared to conventional open surgery, while maintaining the same oncological standards.

Robotic Distal Pancreatectomy

Robotic Distal Pancreatectomy involves removal of the body and tail of the pancreas for selected pancreatic tumours. The robotic approach allows precise dissection and spleen-preserving surgery in suitable cases, reducing surgical trauma and supporting faster recovery.

Robotic Oesophagectomy

Robotic Oesophagectomy is a minimally invasive approach for removing the affected portion of the oesophagus in oesophageal cancer. Robotic techniques enable precise surgical dissection within the confined spaces of the chest and abdomen, aiming to reduce complications and speed recovery compared to conventional open surgery.

Is Robotic Surgery the Right Option for Every Patient?

Minimally invasive, patient-focused surgical care

Robotic surgery is not suitable for all patients. The right approach depends on factors including tumour location, cancer stage, individual anatomy, and overall treatment goals.
