Endoscopic oncology: Important for gastrointestinal cancer care plans

For gastrointestinal cancers, a specialty oncologist like an endoscopic oncologist may be part of your treatment plan. An endoscopic oncologist provides specialized cancer treatments that may not be available in other cancer centers. This includes endoscopic ultrasound, celiac plexus neurolysis, fiducial marker placement, endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatograpy, spy-glass cholangioscopy, endoscopic suturing and endoscopic submucosal dissection.
