Comprehensive Care for Gastrointestinal Cancers

Gastrointestinal cancers affect the digestive system, including the esophagus, stomach, liver, pancreas, intestines, and rectum. These cancers can significantly impact a patient’s quality of life and require specialized care for effective management. Dr Mohammed Taher Mithi Gastrointestinal Cancer Surgeon in South Mumbai offers personalized treatment plans, advanced diagnostics, and compassionate support to ensure optimal outcomes for patients battling gastrointestinal cancers.

Understanding Gastrointestinal Cancers

Gastrointestinal cancers include a wide range of conditions, such as:

• Esophageal Cancer: Affecting the esophagus, it often causes difficulty swallowing and chest pain.
• Stomach (Gastric) Cancer: Typically presenting with symptoms like indigestion, nausea, or weight loss.
• Liver Cancer: Often associated with conditions like hepatitis or cirrhosis.
• Pancreatic Cancer: Known for its subtle symptoms and late-stage detection.
• Colorectal Cancer: A common cancer affecting the colon or rectum, often detected through routine screenings.
• Small Intestinal Cancer: A rare type of cancer impacting the small intestine.

Symptoms can vary widely but may include abdominal pain, changes in bowel habits, unexplained weight loss, or blood in the stool. Early detection is critical for effective treatment.

Advanced Diagnostic Techniques

Our specialist employs state-of-the-art diagnostic tools to accurately detect and stage gastrointestinal cancers, including:

• Endoscopy: Using a camera to visually examine the digestive tract for abnormalities.
• Imaging Studies: CT scans, MRIs, and PET scans to assess tumor size and spread.
• Biopsies: Collecting tissue samples for histological analysis.
• Blood Tests: Identifying tumor markers such as CEA or CA 19-9 to aid in diagnosis and monitoring.

Accurate diagnosis and staging are essential for creating an effective, personalized treatment plan.

Comprehensive Treatment Options

Treatment strategies are tailored to each patient and may include:

• Surgery: Removing tumors or affected organs with minimally invasive or robotic-assisted techniques to ensure faster recovery.
• Chemotherapy: Using systemic drugs to target and destroy cancer cells, especially those that have spread.
