 Each year, over 250,000 people in the United States are diagnosed with some form of gastrointestinal cancer. Many of these cancers are too complex or difficult to be treated with just one approach. That’s why the Gastrointestinal Cancer Program at City of Hope employs multidisciplinary strategies for dealing with abnormalities of the digestive system, specifically the esophagus, stomach, liver, biliary tract, pancreas, colon, rectum and anus.
State-of-the-Art Facilities
With state-of-the-art medical facilities, City of Hope focuses on the prevention, early detection, diagnosis and treatment for those individuals who are at risk for developing gastrointestinal cancer or those individuals who have already been diagnosed and looking for treatment opportunities.
Multi-disciplinary Team
At City of Hope, individuals are treated by a highly skilled, world-class team of gastroenterologists, medical oncologists, radiation oncologists, and surgical oncologists, who work together in a cooperative fashion, combining their skills and knowledge to provide patients with the highest quality of care.
