Learn How Our Cancer Care Works
How Our Cancer Care Works
Gastrointestinal cancers are most often found during a routine GI procedure. What happens in the days afterwards matters enormously, and our program is built so that the gastroenterologist who found the abnormality, the pathologist who reads the tissue, and the oncologist who treats it belong to the same practice rather than three separate referrals.
Tissue is read in house by Dr. Ghulam Ilyas, so staging information arrives in days. Dr. Maqsood then builds a treatment plan with access to tumor boards, clinical trials, and advanced therapies, and coordinates supportive care — symptom management, nutrition, and surveillance — through the same practice that will follow you long term.

What happens if cancer is found during my GI procedure?
Tissue taken during your procedure is read in house by our GI pathologist, usually within days. If cancer is confirmed you are connected directly to Dr. Maqsood's team without starting a new referral from scratch, and your case can be reviewed at tumor board.
Do you offer clinical trials?
Yes. Our cancer program provides access to tumor boards, clinical trials, and advanced therapies alongside standard treatment, so options are considered at the point of diagnosis rather than later.
