Intestinal cancer, also known as small or large bowel cancer, develops when abnormal cells grow uncontrollably in the intestines. Common causes include genetic mutations, a family history of cancer, chronic inflammation, and unhealthy dietary habits. Symptoms often include abdominal pain, unexplained weight loss, changes in bowel habits, and blood in the stool. Early diagnosis is critical and involves tests like colonoscopy and imaging. Treatment options depend on the stage and may include surgery,
chemotherapy, and targeted therapies, aimed at removing or controlling the tumor and improving quality of life.
