We guide you through your entire continuum of care — from diagnosis and treatment through survivorship.

Many gastrointestinal cancers require treatment from a range of medical specialties. The Coleman Foundation Comprehensive Clinic for Gastrointestinal Cancers at RUSH University Medical Center brings together experts from across different disciplines to make a customized care plan. Tailored to your specific needs, your care plan is created by a team of doctors in different specialties. 

For many GI conditions, an endoscopy is how your doctor will often diagnose and sometimes treat your disease. An endoscopy uses a flexible tube with a camera attached to look inside your digestive tract. The person performing your endoscopy may also be able to remove tissues in real time, preventing the need for surgery.

From the time you’re referred to us, we work closely with your other doctors to make sure your care is coordinated and seamless. 

Anyone with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) knows how disruptive a flare-up can be. At RUSH, our experts take a team-based approach to care. You may work with a dietitian, a psychologist and even a specialized IBD pharmacist. These experts can work with you to achieve remission.
