What is GI Cancer?
Gastrointestinal cancer (GI) may happen when certain cells within your alimentary canal grow in an uncontrolled, abnormal way. (GI) cancer can occur anywhere along the long and twisting tube that leads to the esophagus, stomach, small and large intestine (which includes the colon), rectum, and anus. Along with the GI or gastrointestinal system, there are three organs—the liver, gallbladder, and pancreas—that contribute to the digestive process that turns food into energy for the body.

The surgery is performed by a specialist surgical oncologist. And the procedure is conducted:
