Gastrointestinal Cancers
Doctors at the University of Chicago Center for Gastrointestinal Oncology are experts in the diagnosis, treatment, and management of a wide variety of cancers of the digestive system. Not only do we see patients with diseases considered more common, such as colon and rectal cancers, but we also regularly treat less frequently occurring cancers, such as pancreas, liver, and stomach cancers.
Through innovative surgical techniques and the latest medicines, our doctors can offer patients the highest chances of success against their disease. Just a few examples of what we offer include:
- Minimally invasive esophagectomy, gastrectomy, pancreatectomy, hepatic resection, and colorectal resection
- Diagnostic and therapeutic endoscopy for pancreatic, hepatobiliary, and esophageal cancers
- Gene therapy for upper GI cancers
We have a unique multidisciplinary program that identifies optimal and/or innovative treatment strategies for each patient with a GI cancer.
At the University of Chicago Hospitals, our physicians are leaders in treating colorectal problems. Year after year, our specialists are recognized by U.S.News & World Report for excellence in the treatment of digestive diseases and cancer.
