Gastrointestinal surgery covers conditions affecting the digestive tract, from the oesophagus and stomach to the small intestine and other abdominal organs. GI oncosurgery focuses on cancers arising within these organs and often requires coordination between surgeons, gastroenterologists, radiologists, pathologists, medical oncologists and radiation oncologists.
