Small Intestine Cancer

Small intestine cancer is a rare type of gastrointestinal cancer that occurs in the small intestine, the part of the digestive system located between the stomach and the large intestine. It can develop from the cells lining the intestine and may manifest as symptoms like abdominal pain, weight loss, nausea, or changes in bowel habits. Early detection is challenging because symptoms often resemble other digestive issues. Treatment options usually include surgery, chemotherapy, or radiation therapy, depending on the cancer's stage and type. Regular check-ups and awareness of unusual digestive symptoms can aid in early diagnosis.
