For GI junction cancer surgery in Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar (Nagpur), consider exploring government hospitals like the Government Medical College and Hospital (GMCH) or the Maharashtra Cancer Care Centre for potentially lower-cost options while maintaining quality care. These facilities may offer subsidized treatment plans and have specialized teams for GI cancer surgery. You can also explore private hospitals like Sahyadri Hospital in Pune (though outside of Nagpur) which may offer more affordable options compared to some other private hospitals

If it is rectal cancer, then you can give neoadjuvant radiation which will control the bleeding, then plan for cardiac surgery followed by LAR surgery for rectal cancer.

Next Steps Proceed to any higher centre as this case needs multidisciplinary approach
