Your Gastrointestinal Cancer Team

When you choose The O’Neal Comprehensive Cancer Center for your gastrointestinal cancer care, an interdisciplinary team specialized in your specific cancer type will guide your treatment—cancer doctors, pathologists, surgeons, and radiologists, all working together on your personalized plan. Equally important, your cancer team will draw upon the expertise of all the interconnected clinician-researchers in our health system to respond to any challenges along the way.

When appropriate, your team may recommend you for clinical trials offering the most promising new treatments, available only at select research institutions. And since there is much more to fighting cancer than getting rid of cancer cells, we have crafted programs that offer you seamless, holistic care—from diagnosis into survivorship. We are with you for your entire cancer journey.
