As the tumor gets bigger, the blockages may cause pain in the abdomen. A slowly bleeding tumor may lead to anemia. Digested blood may cause the stool to become black or tarry. An obstruction—when the flow of food is completely blocked—may cause intense pain, nausea and vomiting and typically requires immediate surgery.

✔In general, however, intestinal symptoms are often vague and difficult to diagnose.

 ✔Some common symptoms of cancer that develops in the small intestines include:
  • Abdominal pain
  • Unexplained weight loss
  • Weakness or fatigue (sometimes a result of anemia)
  • Bloody or tarry stools (from bleeding tIntestinal cancer symptomsumors)
  • Noticeable lump in the abdomen.
✔Small intestine cancer symptoms may be signs of other conditions or gastrointestinal diseases. Often, however, small tumors may not cause any apparent symptoms. Sometimes the cancer may be found by chance during another unrelated procedure or surgery.
 
 ✔Slow-growing types of cancer, like carcinoid tumors, may take years to find and diagnose.

When cancer develops in the large intestine (also called the colon), it is called colorectal cancer.

✔The small intestine connects the stomach to the large intestine. It is divided into three sections: the duodenum, jejunum and ileum. Most types of small intestine cancer develop in the duodenum.

✔The American Cancer Society estimates approximately 10,470 people in the United States will be diagnosed with small intestine cancer in 2018.]]> 2019-02-13 21:12:41 UTC https://padlet.com/mary14291429/kb9u2qalau6l/wish/331052865
