Abstract:
Gastrointestinal cancer, poses a significant global health challenge, encompassing a spectrum of malignancies affecting various parts of the digestive system and account for a substantial portion of cancer-related morbidity and mortality worldwide. Cancers of the digestive tract can develop anywhere between the stomach and the intestinal canal, from the esophagus down to the anus. Most cancers that start in the digestive tract, start in the gland cells lining the gastrointestinal tract - adenocarcinomas. Tumor types such as melanomas, neuroendocrine tumors, gastrointestinal stromal tumors and sarcomas can also occur.

Cancer Therapies
However, cancer treatments can pose several challenges, as therapies used to kill cancer cells are generally also toxic to normal cells. Moreover, cancer cells mutate rapidly and can develop resistance to chemical agents or radiation therapy. Besides, all types of cancer cells may not respond to the same therapy. Some cancer cells respond to one...
