The MD Anderson GI Radiation Oncology Section represents decades of GI cancer expertise by radiation oncology doctors, and a specialized team of GI radiotherapy physician assistants, nurses, physicists, therapists, and dosimetrists. We treat cancers of the stomach, liver, bile duct, pancreas, rectum, and anus. We offer every type of radiotherapy technology including intensity modulated radiation therapy (IMRT), stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT), and proton therapy, always selected and personalized for each patient. We are constantly working to improve radiotherapy for GI cancers, and offer many clinical trials designed to make radiotherapy more effective with fewer side effects.
