What Are the Treatment Options for Gastrointestinal Cancer?
Treatment for GI cancer depends on the type, location, and stage of the cancer, as well as the patient’s overall health:
Surgery: Often the primary treatment, aiming to remove the tumor and surrounding tissue. Chemotherapy: Uses drugs to kill cancer cells or stop their growth. Radiation Therapy: Uses high-energy rays to target and destroy cancer cells. Targeted Therapy: Involves drugs that target specific molecules involved in cancer growth. Immunotherapy: Boosts the body’s immune system to fight cancer.
