Intestinal Cancer
A brief digest about this topic
Your small intestine is part of your digestive system. It is a long tube that connects your stomach to your large intestine. Intestinal cancer is rare, but eating a high-fat diet or having Crohn's disease, celiac disease, or a history of colonic polyps can increase your risk.
Abdominal pain or lumps, weight loss for no reason or blood in the stool can be symptoms. Imaging tests that create pictures of the small intestine and the area around it can help diagnose intestinal cancer and show whether it has spread.
Surgery is the most common treatment. Additional options include chemotherapy, radiation or a combination.

library.nhs.uk — “Bottom-line conclusion: Although the overall risk of extra-intestinal cancer (EIC) is not significantly increased among patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), the risk of individual cancer types differs from that of the background population as well as between Crohn's disease (CD) and ulcerative colitis (UC) patients. These findings may primarily be explained by smoking habits, extra-intestinal manifestations of IBD, and involvement of the upper gastrointestinal tract in CD.
