Gastrointestinal Care Team
Gastrointestinal cancers are located in the digestive system, such as the stomach and small intestine, and comprise the most commonly diagnosed group of cancers in the U.S.
Deaconess Cancer Services offers GI cancer expertise and minimally invasive surgical options right here in the Tri-State. Our multidisciplinary care team brings extensive expertise in gastrointestinal cancers to bear for patients from diagnosis through treatment and survivorship.
The Histotripsy Procedure: First in Indiana
Using the Edison System by HistoSonics, Histotripsy treats certain liver tumors with focused sound waves — without needles, incisions, surgery, heat, or radiation. This non-invasive approach helps preserve healthy tissue while offering patients fewer complications and faster recovery.
