Welcome to the Gastrointestinal Cancer Institute of New Zealand – GICI (NZ) – website. We are a registered New Zealand charity trust set up to help improve outcomes for those with Gastrointestinal Cancer, a cancer not often spoken about, but in actuality the most prevalent in New Zealand. We are here to support clinical research in New Zealand, focusing particularly on clinical trials, as well as increase the public profile of this all too under-represented cancer. We are a determined charity devoted to addressing issues in this area of health, with the aim of making a real difference to the lives of many New Zealanders.
