When the Diagnosis Feels Overwhelming, Clarity Is the First Step.
Gastrointestinal cancers can be complex. Dr. Bedi's multidisciplinary approach ensures nothing is overlooked and every decision is made with you, not for you.
Understanding GI Cancer
GI cancers affect the digestive system — stomach, colon, rectum, pancreas, liver, oesophagus, and gallbladder. They're among the most common cancers in India, often linked to diet, lifestyle, infection (H. pylori, Hepatitis B/C), or genetics. Accurate diagnosis and staging are critical.
Symptoms to Watch For
How Dr. Bedi Treats GI Cancer
GI cancers require close collaboration between medical, surgical, and radiation oncology. Dr. Bedi coordinates your entire treatment through Fortis's multidisciplinary tumour board.
Treatment Sequencing
Whether chemo comes before or after surgery matters enormously. The tumour board determines the optimal order for your case.
Chemo & Targeted Agents
Modern protocols combine chemotherapy with targeted therapies that block specific growth pathways.
Immunotherapy
For cancers with microsatellite instability, immunotherapy has become a game-changer.
Nutritional Support
Digestive cancers affect nutrition. Dr. Bedi's team includes dietitians who help maintain your strength.
