Gastrointestinal Cancer
At LIGO Super Speciality Hospital, our Gastrointestinal Cancer Care unit is dedicated to the early detection, precise diagnosis, and advanced treatment of cancers affecting the digestive tract.
From colorectal and pancreatic cancers to rare tumours and liver malignancies, our expert team combines surgical precision, chemotherapy, radiation therapy, and minimally invasive techniques to offer personalised care at every stage. With modern diagnostics, laparoscopic capabilities, and a multidisciplinary approach, we ensure each patient receives comprehensive, compassionate, and outcome-driven treatment.
Appendicitis & Colorectal Tumors
Appendicitis is a medical emergency where the appendix becomes inflamed and painful, often requiring immediate surgery. Colorectal tumours, on the other hand, can form in the colon or rectum and may present as changes in bowel habits, blood in stool, or weight loss.
At LIGO, we offer timely diagnosis with imaging and colonoscopy, and expert surgical management, whether it’s an emergency appendectomy or advanced treatment for colorectal cancers.
Radiation Cancer Therapy
Radiation therapy uses high-energy rays to destroy or shrink cancer cells with precision. It plays a vital role in treating various gastrointestinal and pelvic cancers, especially when surgery isn’t possible or as an adjunct to chemotherapy.
Our radiation oncologists use advanced planning systems and state-of-the-art delivery to target cancer while protecting nearby healthy tissue.
Cancer Chemotherapy
Chemotherapy involves using specialised drugs to kill or slow the growth of cancer cells. It may be used before surgery (neoadjuvant), after surgery (adjuvant), or as a primary treatment in advanced cancers.
Our oncology team at LIGO carefully tailors each chemotherapy cycle based on cancer type, stage, and patient tolerance, while providing full support to manage side effects and boost recovery.
Radical Cancer Surgery
Radical cancer surgery involves removing the tumour along with surrounding tissues or organs to ensure complete cancer clearance. This is often recommended for colorectal, stomach, esophageal, or pancreatic cancers.
Our surgical oncology team performs both open and minimally invasive radical procedures with precision, supported by ICU care and advanced diagnostics.
Cancer Screening
Early detection saves lives. Cancer screening helps identify gastrointestinal cancers like colorectal, liver, and pancreatic cancers at an early, more treatable stage.
We offer screening packages that include colonoscopy, liver imaging, tumour marker blood tests, and specialist consultations, even before symptoms arise. For those with family history or risk factors, timely screening could make all the difference.
Laparoscopic Cancer Surgery
Laparoscopic (minimally invasive) cancer surgery uses small incisions, a camera, and specialised instruments to remove tumours with precision.
We perform laparoscopic procedures for gastrointestinal cancers like colorectal, stomach, and liver tumours, offering faster recovery, less pain, and minimal scarring compared to open surgery.
