Gastrointestinal (GI) cancers affect the digestive system — including the esophagus, stomach, liver, pancreas, colon, and rectum.
These cancers often present with vague symptoms like indigestion, weight loss, or abdominal pain, leading to delayed diagnosis.

Dr. Shashank Chaudhary, a skilled Onco and Reconstructive Surgeon in Lucknow, provides comprehensive treatment for all GI cancers, combining surgical precision with compassionate care.
His goal is not only to remove cancer completely but also to preserve digestive function and quality of life.

“Every patient’s body and disease are different. I believe in planning surgery that removes cancer completely while ensuring the patient can live and eat normally again.”
— Dr. Shashank Chaudhary

Dr. Shashank’s Treatment Approach

1. Accurate Diagnosis

A detailed evaluation is the foundation of successful treatment.
Dr. Shashank ensures every patient undergoes:

• Endoscopy, colonoscopy, or imaging (CT / MRI / PET-CT)

• Biopsy for histopathology

• Multidisciplinary case discussion before finalizing treatment

2. Advanced Surgical Management

Depending on the type and stage of cancer, the following surgical options are offered:

• Laparoscopic / Minimally Invasive GI Cancer Surgery
  → Faster recovery, smaller incisions, and less pain.

• Open Oncologic Surgery
  → For large or complex tumors requiring wide removal.

• Organ-Preserving Surgery
  → Whenever possible, healthy parts of the digestive system are preserved for better post-surgery function.

• Reconstructive Procedures
  → Restoring continuity and normal digestive flow after major resections.

3. Combined Multimodal Therapy

For certain GI cancers, surgery is integrated with:

• Chemotherapy (before or after surgery)

• Radiation therapy

• Targeted or immunotherapy (in selected cases)

This ensures better outcomes and reduced risk of recurrence.

4. Recovery & Long-Term Care

Post-surgery, Dr. Shashank’s team focuses on:

• Early mobilization and nutrition management

• Emotional and family counseling

• Regular follow-up and surveillance scans to ensure cancer-free recovery
