Small bowel cancer, though relatively rare, refers to cancer that develops in the small intestine, which is responsible for digesting and absorbing nutrients. Symptoms often include abdominal pain, weight loss, unexplained nausea, or vomiting. Causes of small bowel cancer can vary, but genetic mutations, such as those associated with familial adenomatous polyposis (FAP) or Lynch syndrome, increase the risk. Chronic conditions like Crohn’s disease or celiac disease can also raise the likelihood of developing small bowel cancer. The exact causes remain unclear in many cases, but a combination of genetic factors and environmental influences can play a role.
