• Liver, gallbladder, and pancreas disease:The liver, pancreas, and gallbladder are vital components of the digestive system, responsible for nutrient absorption and waste disposal. Several disorders associated with these organs include:

1. Ascites
2. Cirrhosis
3. Fatty liver disease/ Nonalcoholic Steatohepatitis
4. Gallstones
5. Diseases related to the gallbladder
6. Hepatitis
7. Pancreatitis
8. Autoimmune Liver Disease
9. Wilson’s Disease

The following are common signs of a liver or pancreatic disorder:

1. Pain in the abdomen
2. Back ache
3. Bloating
4. Cholestasis (flow of bile is decreased or interrupted).
5. Dark coloured urine
6. Clay coloured stool
7. Fever

• GI malignancies:Gastrointestinal (GI) cancers encompass a range of organs including the stomach, large and small intestines, pancreas, colon, liver, rectum, anus, and biliary system. In the early stages of GI cancer, symptoms may not be noticeable, and tumors are often detected through screenings. However, as the cancer progresses, symptoms may arise, indicating a more advanced stage. Common symptoms of gastrointestinal cancer may include:

1. Cramping or pain in the abdomen
2. Stool that is bloody or very dark
3. Changes in bowel habits, such as diarrhoea or constipation, or changes in stool consistency or constriction
4. Swallowing Difficulties
5. Digestive issues
6. Yellowness (yellowing of the eyes and skin)
7. Vomiting and nausea
8. Tiredness and weakness,
9. Weight loss,
10. Loss of appetite

Early detection is crucial in preventing advanced gastrointestinal (GI) cancers. Screening tests, such as colonoscopy, can detect colon and rectal cancer in its early stages when it is highly curable, often before symptoms manifest. Apart from colonoscopy, there are other screening methods available for GI cancer. It's important to consult with your doctor to discuss your options and determine the most appropriate screening approach for you. Regular screening can significantly improve the chances of detecting GI cancer early and improving outcomes.
