Gastrointestinal cancer refers to a group of cancers that affect the digestive system, including the esophagus, stomach, pancreas, small intestine, colon, and rectum. The treatment for gastrointestinal cancer depends on the type and stage of cancer, and may include surgery, radiation therapy, chemotherapy, or a combination of these treatments. 

Some common gastrointestinal cancers include: 

• Colorectal cancer - cancer that starts in the colon or rectum 
• Gastric cancer - cancer that starts in the stomach 
• Esophageal cancer - cancer that starts in the esophagus 
• Pancreatic cancer - cancer that starts in the pancreas 
• Biliary tract cancer - cancer that starts in the bile ducts 

Gastrointestinal cancer surgery is a common treatment option that aims to remove the cancerous tumor and any affected tissue.
