Types of small intestine cancer

Although small intestine cancer is rare, it can affect any part of the small intestine. There are a number of different types of this type of cancer, and each type has its own characteristics, speed of growth, and response to treatment that differs from others.

The common types of small intestine cancer are:

Adenocarcinoma is the most common type of small intestine cancer, and this type arises in the glandular cells lining the small intestine.

Neuroendocrine tumors: These tumors arise in the neuroendocrine cells in the wall of the small intestine, and these cells produce hormones that cause additional hormonal symptoms.

Lymphoma: It affects the lymphatic system and the small intestine.

Sarcoma is a type of cancer that affects connective tissues such as ligaments and muscles, and it affects the small intestine.

Complications of bowel cancer

The most prominent of these complications is intestinal obstruction resulting from the growth of the tumor and then narrowing of the intestinal lumen, which leads to difficulty in digestion and the appearance of various symptoms such as severe pain, constipation, and bloating. Cancer may spread to other organs of the body such as the liver, lung, and bones, which increases the difficulty of the patient’s health condition and necessarily affects the functions of those organs.

Bowel cancer prevention

This disease can be easily prevented by following a healthy lifestyle and taking a number of preventive measures, including eating a healthy, balanced diet, by including dietary fiber found in vegetables, whole grains, and fruits, which helps improve bowel movement and reduce the time the intestine is exposed to carcinogenic substances.

Red meat and processed meat, which increase the risk of disease, should be reduced. Saturated fats found in red meat, butter, and dairy should also be reduced. This helps maintain a healthy weight and reduce the risk of cancer.

Avoid smoking, which increases the risk of many types of cancer, including bowel cancer. You should also avoid drinking alcohol, which increases the risk of infection, and the importance of exercising regularly, to maintain a healthy weight and improve the health of the digestive system.
