Gastrointestinal cancer

Gastrointestinal cancer

  • Pseudomyxoma peritonei
    Pseudomyxoma peritonei (PMP) is a clinical condition caused by cancerous cells (mucinous adenocarcinoma) that produce abundant mucin or gelatinous ascites.
  • Hepatoblastoma
    Hepatoblastoma is an uncommon malignant liver cancer occurring in infants and children and composed of tissue resembling fetal liver cells, mature liver cells, or bile duct cells.
  • Esophageal cancer
    Esophageal cancer (or oesophageal cancer) is cancer arising from the esophagus—the food pipe that runs between the throat and the stomach.
  • Gardner's syndrome
    Gardner syndrome, also known as Gardner's syndrome or familial colorectal polyposis, is an autosomal dominant form of polyposis characterized by the presence of multiple polyps in the colon together with tumors outside the colon.
  • Intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasm
    Intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasm (IPMN) is a type of tumor (neoplasm) that grows within the pancreatic ducts (intraductal) and is characterized by the production of thick fluid by the tumor cells (mucinous).
  • List of people diagnosed with pancreatic cancer
    This article is a list of notable people who have been diagnosed with pancreatic cancer.
  • Gastrointestinal stromal tumor
    Gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GISTs) are the most common mesenchymal neoplasms of the gastrointestinal tract.
  • Familial adenomatous polyposis
    Familial adenomatous polyposis (FAP) is an inherited condition in which numerous adenomatous polyps form mainly in the epithelium of the large intestine.
  • Juvenile polyposis syndrome
    Juvenile polyposis syndrome is a syndrome characterized by the appearance of multiple juvenile polyps in the gastrointestinal tract.
  • Duodenal cancer
    Duodenal cancer is a cancer in the beginning section of the small intestine.
  • Linitis plastica
    Linitis plastica, also known as Brinton's disease or leather bottle stomach, is a morphological variant of diffuse (or infiltrating) stomach cancer.
  • Krukenberg tumor
    A Krukenberg tumor refers to a malignancy in the ovary that metastasized from a primary site, classically the gastrointestinal tract, although it can arise in other tissues such as the breast.
  • Squamous cell carcinoma
    Squamous cell carcinoma or squamous cell cancer (SCC or SqCC) is a cancer of a kind of epithelial cell, the squamous cell.
  • MALT lymphoma
    MALT lymphoma (MALToma) is a form of lymphoma involving the mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue (MALT), frequently of the stomach, but virtually any mucosal site can be afflicted.
  • Digestive system neoplasm
    Digestive system neoplasms are tumors which affect the digestive system.
  • Anal cancer
    Anal cancer is a cancer (malignant tumor) which arises from the anus, the distal opening of the gastrointestinal tract.
  • Carcinoid
    Carcinoid (also carcinoid tumor) is a slow-growing type of neuroendocrine tumor originating in the cells of the neuroendocrine system.
  • Goblet cell carcinoid
    The goblet cell carcinoid, abbreviated GCC and also known as crypt cell carcinoma and neuroendocrine tumour with goblet cell differentiation, is a rare biphasic gastrointestinal tract tumour that consists of a neuroendocrine component and a conventional carcinoma, histologically arising from Paneth cells.
  • Appendix cancer
    Appendix cancer or appendiceal cancers are rare malignancies of the vermiform appendix.
