Small Intestine Cancer
Small intestine cancer arises when abnormal cells grow uncontrollably in the small bowel lining.
This type of cancer is rare and often diagnosed late due to non-specific symptoms like abdominal pain, nausea, or obstruction. Treatment may include surgery, chemotherapy, and sometimes radiotherapy. Early diagnosis is critical for better survival outcomes.
Causes and Risk Factors of Small Intestine Cancer
Multiple factors may contribute to cancer development in the small intestine.
- Genetic predisposition: Inherited syndromes such as Lynch syndrome
- Chronic inflammation of the small intestine
- Diet and lifestyle: High-fat diet, smoking, and alcohol may increase risk
Symptoms and Clinical Presentation
Symptoms are often vague, making early detection difficult.
- Abdominal pain or cramps
- Nausea, vomiting, or unexplained weight loss
- Obstruction or bleeding: Occasionally leads to acute abdomen or anemia
Treatment Options for Small Intestine Cancer
Treatment strategies depend on tumor location, stage, and histology.
- Surgical resection: Primary treatment for localized tumors
- Chemotherapy for advanced or metastatic disease
- Radiotherapy: Rarely used, for local control or palliation
