ABSTRACT
Background:
Cancer is a major public health problem worldwide. Many studies have shown that the completion of adjuvant chemotherapy improves the survival rate.Objectives:
The aim of the current study was to discuss the efficacy and role of diagnostic and therapeutic laparoscopy as a new trend in managing gastrointestinal tumors. Patients andMethods:
This prospective study included a total of 50 patients, whom had gastro-intestinal tumor diagnosed by tissue biopsy and histopathology attending at General Surgery Department, Sayed Galaal Al-Azhar University Hospital. The hospital statistically significant data for the included 50 patients, pre and post diagnostic laparoscopy and surgical intervention were collected and analyzed.Results:
A significant percentage of intra-abdominal cancers prove to be inoperable because of metastatic or locally advanced disease despite a preoperative workup suggesting a potentially resectable disease.Conclusion:
It could be concluded that diagnostic laparoscopy is accurate staging tool for gastro intestinal tumors as staging method prior to surgery that can change plan to start neoadjuvant chemotherapy (CTR) instead of surgery. Laparoscopic surgery shows also short post- operative patient stay at hospital and early start of CTR
