Surgeons are continuing to improve their techniques for operating on colorectal cancers. They now have a better understanding of what makes colorectal surgery more likely to be successful, such as making sure enough lymph nodes are removed during the operation. Esophageal cancer  usually begins in the cells that line the inside of the esophagus. Pancreatic cancer begins in the tissues of your pancreas an organ in your abdomen that lies horizontally behind the lower part of your stomach. Colorectal cancer is cancer that starts in the colon or rectum. The colon and the rectum are parts of the large intestine, which is the lower part of the body’s digestive system. Anal cancer is an uncommon type of cancer that occurs in the anal canal. The anal canal is a short tube at the end of your rectum through which stool leaves your body. Gallbladder disease is relatively uncommon in the pediatric population, pediatric patients comprise a disproportionate number of cholecystectomies; this rate has been rising in recent years. Pediatric gallbladder disease is most commonly associated with haemolytic diseases. Stomach cancer is a disease in which malignant cancer cells form in the lining of the stomach.
