UK Research Priorities for Oesophageal & Gastric Cancers
Dr Christopher Jones
“Are you a UK patient or a carer of someone who has been diagnosed with oesophageal (gullet) or gastric (stomach) cancer? Or do you have an interest in these cancers, including as a UK healthcare professional with experience of looking after patients with oesophageal or gastric cancer?
Would you like to have your say on which aspects of the care received by patients with oesophageal or gastric cancers would most benefit from research? Or which most matter to you and your experience of these cancers?
With a number of other patient- and healthcare professional- groups from across the UK, the NCRI’s Oesophagogastric Research Subgroup has recently set up a project to define research priorities for the care of patients with oesophageal and gastric cancer.”
The stomach is part of the digestive system. It lies just under the lungs. The top of the stomach is joined to the bottom of the oesophagus (foodpipe) and the other end is joined to the bowel.
