Risk Factors for Gastrointestinal Cancer

Chronic conditions such as GERD, inflammatory bowel disease, cirrhosis, and chronic pancreatitis
Diet high in processed meats, low in fibre, fruits, and vegetables
Family history of colorectal, stomach, or pancreatic cancer
Genetic conditions such as Lynch syndrome, familial adenomatous polyposis (FAP), and BRCA mutations
Obesity and metabolic syndrome
Excessive alcohol consumption, particularly linked to liver and oesophageal cancer
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.
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.
