The Coleman Foundation Comprehensive Clinic for Gastrointestinal Cancers brings together a team of experts in gastroenterology, medical oncology, surgery, radiation oncology, pathology and genetics to provide a full spectrum of care for patients with gastrointestinal cancers. The clinic sees patients with suspected malignancies or diagnosed with the following:

• Anal Cancer
• Bile Duct Cancer
• Colon or Rectal Cancer
• Esophageal Cancer
• Gallbladder Cancer
• Pancreatic Cancer
• Small Intestine Cancer
• Stomach Cancer

Additionally, the Coleman Foundation Comprehensive Clinic for Gastrointestinal Cancers sees patients with rare cancers, including gastrointestinal neuroendocrine tumors, also known as carcinoids, and gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GIST). Unlike many other institutions, we have seen a number of cases, and thus, we are experienced in the latest treatment modalities for these tumors.  

New and second opinion patients meet with the team in a single visit where they discuss the advantages and disadvantages of various treatment options. At the end of this meeting, patients walk away with a well-defined treatment plan designed to meet their specific needs.

As part of an academic medical center, patients of the Coleman Foundation Comprehensive Clinic for Gastrointestinal Cancers also have access to the latest treatments and research studies. For more information about our research, please see the Cancer Clinical Trials page.

The following services are offered by the Coleman Foundation Comprehensive Clinic for Gastrointestinal (GI) Cancers:

• Advanced treatment options
