Treatment of gastrointestinal tumors depends on several factors, including the type, stage, and location of the tumor, as well as the patient's health condition. However, in general, treatment options include:
1

Surgical Intervention

Surgical intervention is performed on cancerous tumors that have not spread beyond the tumor site. The original, as surgery may be performed to remove the tumor and surrounding tissue. Nearby lymph nodes may also be removed to detect the presence of a cancerous tumor. It should be noted that sometimes surgery may be the only treatment required, especially if the tumor is completely removed.
2

Radiation therapy

Radiation therapy is used to destroy cancer cells or reduce the size of the tumor before or after surgery. Furthermore, radiation therapy may also be used to relieve symptoms and control tumor growth in cases that are not amenable to surgery.
3

Chemotherapy

Chemotherapy involves the use of chemotherapy drugs to kill cancer cells or slow their growth. It is taken orally or intravenously and may be used alone or in various combinations. It can be administered before surgery to reduce the size of the tumor or after surgery to eliminate any remaining cancer cells.
4

Immunotherapy

Immunotherapy aims to enhance the immune system's response to combat cancer cells.
5

Targeted therapy

Targeted therapy is a drug that targets specific characteristics of cancer cells.
