Gastrointestinal Cancer

Overview

The gastrointestinal tract (GI tract) begins with the esophagus (the tube that transports food from the mouth to the stomach) and ends with the anus (where waste exits the body). Primary GI cancer begins in the GI tract. Metastatic gastrointestinal malignancies begin in the gastrointestinal tract but spread to other regions of the body.
