Gastric outlet obstruction (GOO) includes obstruction in the antropyloric area or in the bulbar or post bulbar duodenal segments. Endoscopic Balloon Dilatation (EBD) is an effective alternative to surgery in a select number of patients to treat GOO.
Percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy (PEG) tubes can be used to provide enteral nutrition for terminal malignancies of the upper gastrointestinal tract as well as for decompression of malignant obstructions.
Our GI Oncology and Chemotherapy team is highly specialized to treat gastrointestinal malignancies, including cancers of the liver, bile duct, gallbladder, pancreas, large and small bowel, stomach, esophagus and rare tumors.
Medical Oncology is one of the three pillars of cancer treatment along with surgery and radiotherapy. It deals with treatment of cancer using drugs which kill cancer cells. Aims of the treatment include cure, prolongation of life, relief of symptoms and providing good quality of life, depending on the extent of disease at presentation. Recent years have seen the advent of several new chemotherapy drugs and also targeted therapy to help achieve the above-mentioned aims. Medical Oncology involves treating cancer using the following drugs: Chemotherapy: These are drugs which kill cancer cells or stop their growth. However, they also act on normal body cells, thus leading to side effects. Targeted Therapy: These drugs target cancer cells specifically, sparing normal cells, thus limiting side effects. Hormonal Therapy: This involves use of hormonal agents for prevention and treatment of certain cancers such as breast cancer and prostate cancer.
Therapuetic endoscopy is useful in treatment of gastrointestinal bleeding. This includes techniques such as photocoagulation, electrocoagulation, thermocoagulation and injection method.
