Gastrointestinal Tract Cancer

Gastrointestinal tract cancers affect organs such as the esophagus, stomach, intestines, and
rectum. Risk factors include poor diet, smoking, alcohol use, and chronic inflammation. Symptoms
may include indigestion, abdominal pain, difficulty swallowing, blood in stool, and weight loss.
Diagnosis includes endoscopy, imaging, and biopsy. Treatment usually involves surgery combined
with chemotherapy or radiation therapy. Early detection and specialized care improve survival and
quality of life.
