is cancer in the digestive tract curable or treatable successfully?

Answer 1

If caught before it spreads beyond the lymph nodes, most cancers of the G.I. tract can be curable and are treated that way. The treatment may differ depending upon which part of the G.I. tract is involved; it varies from the esophagus, stomach, colon, rectum an anus. Sometimes it's surgery only, sometimes chemotherapy and radiation may also be recommended as part of a curative approach to treatment.

If you're including the hepatobiliary tumors (liver, bile duct, pancreas) as part of the digestive tract, then pancreatic cancer is probably the toughest to catch early and treat curatively.

Often, after diagnosis blood tests, scans are often needed to 'stage' the tumor and gauge if the tumor has spread, then figure out if it's worth taking a curative approach to treatment. I hope that it's early stage and wish you the best.
