Gastrointestinal cancers, such as pancreatic, stomach, esophageal, colon, small intestine, liver, and gallbladder cancers often require a combination of treatments based on the type, location, and stage of the disease. At Emerald Coast Cancer Center, we create personalized care plans for each patient, guided by experience, advanced technology, and a commitment to supportive care.

GI Cancer Treatment options in Fort Walton Beach may include:

• Surgery: Often used when the cancer is confined to one area. It may involve removing part or all of the affected organ.
• Chemotherapy: Uses cancer-fighting drugs to destroy or slow the growth of cancer cells. It can be used before or after surgery, or on its own.
• Radiation Therapy: Delivers high-energy beams to shrink tumors or relieve symptoms. Sometimes used in combination with chemotherapy.
• Targeted Therapy: Focuses on specific genetic markers or proteins within cancer cells, often with fewer side effects than traditional chemotherapy.
• Immunotherapy: Helps stimulate the body’s immune system to detect and destroy cancer cells.
• Palliative Care: Focuses on relieving symptoms and improving comfort and quality of life, especially in advanced stages.

Side effects may include fatigue, digestive changes, or appetite loss, depending on the type of treatment. Our cancer treatment team in Fort Walton Beach works closely with you to monitor progress and help manage any challenges you may face.

At Emerald Coast Cancer Center, we treat more than the cancer, we care for the whole person. We are here to guide you through your treatment journey with clarity, compassion, and commitment.
