resources // specific cancers

This section is a good place to start if you are looking for information relating to a specific type of cancer. It covers information on issues like causes, prevention, detection, symptoms and treatments. More general information on these topics may be found in other sections of the website. In the section on gastro-intestinal / digestive system you will find information on the following cancers; anal cancer, bile duct cancer, bowel / colon cancer, carcinoid tumour, gallbladder cancer, liver cancer, oesophageal cancer, pancreatic cancer, rectal cancer, small bowel cancer and stomach cancer.

We have made an effort to cover a wide range of cancers. If you can not find a particular type listed here, we recommend that you either look at information provided by cancer organisations which you will find in the section called “Services” or you may want to carry out your own search by following links under the heading called “Beyond PIES”.
