Overview
There are no established causes for small intestine cancer. Cancer may arise in genetically predisposed individuals or they may arise sporadically. Environmental factors may play a role as well; however, there is no study demonstrating established risk factors.
Causes
- There is no established cause for small intestinal cancer.
- However, some genetic syndromes are associated with small intestine cancers.
- Intestinal cancer caused by the genetic syndrome in the presence of a family history, are diagnosed at a younger age.
- Single nucleotide mutations, either on the same chromosome or on different chromosomes are considered to be associated with such cancer-associated genetic syndromes.
- Small intestinal cancers may also be sporadic.[1]
- According to some studies done in Europe and United States, tobacco, alcohol, and obesity are considered to play a role in the etiology of small intestine cancers.[2]
