Small intestine cancer can form in the wall lining, the smooth muscle cells or other tissues that either compose the intestine itself or are part of the glands in the small intestine. This is the longest portion of the digestive system and is responsible for extracting nutrients from food and drink.

Choosing a Small Intestine Cancer Specialist in Florida

Since small intestine cancer is rare, when seeking out a cancer expert it’s important to find a provider with ample experience treating this malignancy.
