Gastro onco care (Bengaluru)

Gastro onco care

Gastro Oncocare focuses on diagnosing and treating cancers of the gastrointestinal (GI) tract. This includes cancers of the esophagus, stomach, liver, pancreas, gallbladder, bile ducts, small intestine, colon, rectum, and anus. At Nainaa Gastro Onco Care in Varthur, Bangalore, Karnataka, Dr. Rakesh R leads a team dedicated to providing the best care for patients with GI cancers. Common GI cancers include esophageal cancer, which affects the tube connecting the throat to the stomach, and stomach cancer, which develops in the stomach lining. Liver cancer, pancreatic cancer, gallbladder cancer, bile duct cancer, small intestine cancer, colorectal cancer, and anal cancer are also treated at Nainaa Gastro Onco Care. These cancers can cause symptoms like difficulty swallowing, persistent indigestion, unexplained weight loss, and changes in bowel habits. Diagnosing GI cancers often involves endoscopy, where a flexible tube with a camera is used to view the GI tract. Tissue samples (biopsies) may be taken during this procedure to check for cancer cells. Imaging tests like CT scans, MRI, PET scans, and ultrasounds help visualize tumors, while blood tests check for tumor markers and overall health status. Treatment options at Nainaa Gastro Onco Care include surgery to remove tumors, radiation therapy to destroy cancer cells with high-energy rays, and chemotherapy to kill or stop the growth of cancer cells. Targeted therapy and immunotherapy are advanced treatments that specifically attack cancer cells or boost the immune system to fight cancer. Palliative care is also available to relieve symptoms and improve the quality of life. Preventing GI cancers involves maintaining a healthy diet rich in fruits, vegetables, and whole grains, while limiting red and processed meats. Regular exercise helps maintain a healthy weight, and avoiding tobacco and limiting alcohol reduces cancer risk. Regular screenings, such as colonoscopies, are crucial for early detection and successful treatment. At Nainaa Gastro Onco Care in Varthur, Bangalore, Karnataka, Dr. Rakesh R and his team are committed to providing top-quality care for patients with GI cancers. With advanced diagnostic and treatment options, as well as a focus on prevention and early detection, patients receive comprehensive and compassionate care tailored to their needs.
