Gastrointestinal/Hepatobiliary Oncology Program
The Gastrointestinal (GI) Tumor Study Group meets on a weekly basis to address clinical and research issues relating to all types of GI malignancies. At this meeting, treatment and patient care issues are presented to assure that the full spectrum of cancer prevention, diagnosis, treatment and follow-up options are appropriately considered for every patient. The program integrates a spectrum of clinical, basic, and translational research activities, assuring close collaboration between basic scientists and clinicians for the rapid translation of research discoveries to clinical care and to enlist the assistance of basic researchers in solving clinical problems. The clinical arm of the program provides interdisciplinary diagnostic and treatment modalities that include prevention in high risk populations, early diagnosis, therapeutic evaluations, multi-disciplinary management of patients with cancer and pre-cancerous conditions, and treatment of advanced disease. The program strives to make new prevention, diagnostic, and treatment approaches available to patients through institutional, regional and national clinical protocols.
