O‐G cancer symptoms
Indigestion that won’t go away
Difficulty with swallowing
Weight loss
Jaundice
But even the earliest SYMPTOMS
- ften associated with advanced
cancer
6,137,325 examinations between 1968 – 1998
6394 cancers detected (0.104%)

Primary prevention
- Public awareness –
- besity, alcohol & smoking
Early diagnosis
- Public awareness
- Easier access to endoscopy
Surveillance & screening of high risk groups
- Barrett’s
Better treatment
GP
Disease free No or subtle symptoms Dysphagia, heartburn

Extent of the disease
Scans
Inspection of abdominal cavity General level of fitness Tailoring to the individual
Palliative if advanced
Curative if localised
- Surgery ±
chemotherapy/radiotherapy
Stomach
Usually removal of whole stomach with lymph glands Oesophagus
Removal of major part of oesophagus & part
- f stomach
Most patients in 60s and 70s
Some have other medical problems
Operations are long & complex
Oesophagectomy involves opening the abdomen and the chest
Therefore, potentially high morbidity and mortality
Gastrectomy
6 weeks off work, 6‐9 months to get back to ‘normal’
Smaller meals, difficulty regaining weight
Oesophagectomy
12 weeks off work, 12 months to get back to normal
Smaller meals, difficulty regaining weight
1987 - 1991 1997 - 2000
Mortality after surgery 10% 5% 1-year survival 47% 62% 5-year survival 20% 31%
Better ‘mapping’ (staging) of the disease
Better tailoring of treatment
- Multidisciplinary Team approach
Better surgery & after‐care
Endoscopic treatment of early disease
Key‐hole surgery!
Specialisation & centralisation
World‐class UGI gastroenterology service
- Endoscopic treatment of early tumours
- Interventional techniques – laser, stenting
- Research
Excellent oncology services
Strong surgical service
- 387 cases discussed and 82 resections since Feb
2011 with 1 death
- Expertise for complex and re‐operative surgery

Programme to improve outcomes:
- Earlier diagnosis
- Smoother pathway through staging to treatment
- Fewer centres for surgery
- More enrolment of patients into trials
Regional surgical centre
1.5 million population base
>600 cancers a year
>100 operations a year
