Each year, US doctors diagnose about 1200 malignant small intestine tumors. This is a small number relative to the frequency of tumors in other parts of the GI tract.  Chrohn’s disease, celiac disease, and familial polyposis syndromes are often diseases associated with intestinal cancer.  Like most gastrointestinal cancers, early symptoms of small intestine cancer tend to be vague and nonspecific.

• Abdominal pain 
• Black stool
• Bloody stool
• Bowel Obstruction
• Cancer
• Digestive Diseases
• Digestive system cancer

As always, these symptoms could indicate a variety of other diseases or irregularities.  Please consult your doctor if these symptoms seem unnatural, increase in frequency, or are prolonged in nature.
