Gastroenterology
Gastroenterology is the study of the structure, functions, and diseases of the digestive organs and the alimentary canal (the route of nutrition through the body from intake to output). MemorialCare Medical Group’s services include a Digestive Disease Center specializing in gastroenterology.
Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease (GERD)
Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) is the most common gastrointestinal disorder in the United States, affecting 25 - 40 million people, including infants and children. GERD occurs when the stomach’s acidic contents rise up into the esophagus, the tube that carries food from the mouth to the stomach.
Lymphoma
Lymphoma is cancer that occurs in the cells of the lymphatic system (immune system), a network of lymph nodes and lymph vessels that carry lymph fluid, nutrients, and waste throughout tissues and the bloodstream. The spleen, bone marrow and thymus gland are also apart of the lymphatic system.
