OncoSil - A new radionuclide therapy for pancreatic cancer.

Gastrointestinal cancer, poses a significant global health challenge, encompassing a spectrum of malignancies affecting various parts of the digestive system and account for a substantial portion of cancer-related morbidity and mortality worldwide. Cancers of the digestive tract can develop anywhere between the stomach and the intestinal canal, from the esophagus down to the anus. Most cancers that start in the digestive tract, start in the gland cells lining the gastrointestinal tract - adenocarcinomas. Tumor types such as melanomas, neuroendocrine tumors, gastrointestinal stromal tumors and sarcomas can also occur.
