Gastrointestinal (GI) cancers refer to cancers that develop in the digestive system, which includes the esophagus, stomach, liver, pancreas, colon, rectum, and anus. These cancers vary in their symptoms and aggressiveness, but common signs include unexplained weight loss, abdominal pain, changes in bowel habits, blood in stool, difficulty swallowing, or jaundice. Risk factors for GI cancers include age, family history, certain inherited conditions, a history of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), smoking, and excessive alcohol consumption. Early detection through screening tests like colonoscopies can significantly improve outcomes. Treatment for GI cancers often involves surgery, chemotherapy, radiation therapy, and targeted therapies, depending on the type and stage of cancer.
