Digestive Tract Tumor Diagnosis and Treatment Center

The Digestive Tract Tumor Diagnosis and Treatment Center focuses on common digestive tract tumors such as esophageal cancer, gastric cancer, and colorectal cancer, and also addresses complex scenarios including liver metastases. The center emphasizes clear preoperative and postoperative strategies, as well as smooth coordination between local and systemic treatments. Relying on our hospital's MDT (multidisciplinary team) consultation mechanism, the center integrates endoscopic examination, imaging-based staging, pathological classification, and nutritional risk assessment into decision-making, first clarifying the current treatment goal: whether to downstage the tumor before surgery, provide postoperative adjuvant therapy to reduce recurrence risk, or control symptoms and prolong survival while maintaining quality of life in the metastatic stage. This ensures that the next treatment choices and timing are clearly communicated and properly implemented.

For local treatment, the center offers optimized options based on precision radiotherapy and other techniques. For example, in rectal cancer, the center can determine the most suitable approach between short-course radiotherapy (SCRT) and long-course radiotherapy (LCRT) according to the patient's condition and surgical plan, with careful coordination with chemotherapy schedules and surgical timing. In cases such as esophageal cancer requiring combined chemoradiotherapy, the center emphasizes target coverage and dose constraints for critical organs, using image guidance to improve treatment consistency. For patients with liver metastases or local progression, the center can coordinate minimally invasive interventions such as ablation after assessing indications, forming a more executable comprehensive treatment strategy, with subsequent adjustments guided by periodic reassessment.

Throughout treatment, the center emphasizes nutritional and physical management, closely monitoring issues such as dysphagia, gastrointestinal reactions, and pain that may affect treatment adherence, intervening early to reduce interruptions, and using reassessment results to guide subsequent adjustments. We aim to ensure that every evaluation directly informs the next decision, making the treatment schedule clearer, the coordination smoother, and the process more controllable.
