Cancer Surgery for GIST (Gastrointestinal Stromal Tumors) & NET (Neuroendocrine Tumors)

Surgery is often employed to remove gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GIST) and neuroendocrine tumors (NET) in the gastrointestinal tract. The extent of surgery depends on the size, location, and stage of the tumor.

Cancer of the Colon & Rectum

Colorectal cancer involves malignant growths in the colon or rectum. Treatment may include surgical resection of the cancerous tissue, sometimes followed by chemotherapy or radiation therapy.

Liver Cancer Surgery

Liver cancer surgery can encompass procedures such as liver resection (removing a portion of the liver) or liver transplant for eligible patients. Other treatments like ablation or embolization may also be used.

Pancreatic Cancer

Pancreatic cancer affects the pancreas and often requires surgery to remove the tumor. Surgical options may include a Whipple procedure, distal pancreatectomy, or total pancreatectomy, depending on the tumor's location and stage.

Gallbladder Cancer – Extended Cholecystectomy

Gallbladder cancer surgery involves removing the gallbladder (cholecystectomy), and in some cases, surrounding tissues or lymph nodes as part of an extended cholecystectomy to ensure complete cancer removal.

Bile Duct Cancer Surgery

Bile duct cancer treatment may involve surgery to remove the cancerous bile duct and nearby tissues. The surgical approach depends on the location and extent of the cancer.
