There are no established preventive measures to prohibit developing small intestinal cancers. However, limiting tobacco and alcohol use, moderate healthy diet consumption and treatment of [[gastroenteritis]] and other intestinal pathology with increased risk of carcinomatos changes in polyps, can decrease the incidence of [[ small intestinal cancers]].


In [[oncology]], '''small intestine cancer''', also '''small bowel cancer''' and '''cancer of the small bowel''', is a [[cancer]] of the [[small intestine]]. It is relatively rare compared to other gastrointestinal malignancies such as [[gastric cancer]] (stomach cancer) and [[colorectal cancer]].
==Primary Prevention==
There are no established primary preventive measures to prohibit developing small intestinal cancers. However, some measures for primary prevention of small intestine cancer include life style changes for modifiable risk factors. These are as follows:
*Treatment of [[celiac disease]], [[Crohns disease]] can prevent progression to [[adenocarcinoma]] of small intestine.
*Smoking is a major risk factor for various cancers.

Overview

There are no established preventive measures to prohibit developing small intestinal cancers. However, limiting tobacco and alcohol use, moderate healthy diet consumption and treatment of gastroenteritis and other intestinal pathology with increased risk of carcinomatos changes in polyps, can decrease the incidence of small intestinal cancers.

Primary Prevention

There are no established primary preventive measures to prohibit developing small intestinal cancers. However, some measures for primary prevention of small intestine cancer include life style changes for modifiable risk factors. These are as follows:
