Small intestine adenocarcinoma

Adenocarcinoma of the small intestine is a malignant tumor from the mucosa of the small intestine, mostly located around the head of the duodenum, the jejunum, and the ileum. Is one of the most common primary small bowel malignancies. Among small intestine adenocarcinomas, adenocarcinomas that occur in the duodenum often show earlier symptoms and are easier to diagnose and treat.
