Gastrointestinal Cancer

Wellness is within reach. Catching gastrointestinal (GI) cancer early gives you more treatment options — and more reason to hope for better outcomes. But getting there means asking all of your questions and working through the answers. At AdventHealth, we pave the way by providing a safe, soothing diagnostic environment — and by giving you the latest in genetic counseling, testing, and imaging. Our imaging experts aim for same-day diagnostic test results whenever possible, so you can get answers and get started on treatment. We put the focus on getting you the full picture by offering minimally invasive diagnostic testing that includes:

• Barium Swallow
• Biopsy
• Computed Tomography (CT or CAT) Scan
• Endoscopic Ultrasound
• Endoscopy
• Laparoscopy
• MRI
• Positron Emission Tomography (PET) or PET-CT Scan
• X-Ray

You'll always feel heard. Our team of GI oncologists and other experts is here to answer any question you may have about risk factors, the screening process, symptoms, and anything in between.

Every day you show us your strength. We applaud that. And we're here to support you with expertise, understanding, and leading-edge care, including stomach, liver, and colon cancer treatments. We strive to be at the forefront of the latest advances in surgical techniques that reduce pain, accelerate recovery times, and lead to fewer complications so you can feel better, faster. Within the AdventHealth network, highly skilled surgeons can treat you with pioneering laparoscopic and robotic digestive procedures that are rapidly becoming the standard in digestive-cancer care. And, when needed, we’ll combine surgical procedures with chemotherapy and radiation to help support your gastrointestinal cancer treatment. No matter what, our team of GI oncologists, surgeons, and other experts will care for you with individualized attention and compassion. With our numerous treatment options in hand, we're ready to support and treat a range of gastrointestinal cancers, including:

• Gallbladder Cancer
• Liver Cancer, Including Hepatology, Cholangiocarcinoma, and Hepatocellular Carcinoma
