“…356 Analyses from various registries have also shown some racial disparities, with a higher incidence in Black individuals than in White individuals. 356,357 The etiopathogenesis of small bowel cancer is unclear. It is hypothesized that, in addition to genetics, multiple environmental factors, including diet, obesity, and smoking, play a role in malignant transformation of the cells.…”

Cancer is one of the foremost health problems worldwide and is among the leading causes of death in the United States. Gastrointestinal tract cancers account for almost one third of the cancer‐related mortality globally, making it one of the deadliest groups of cancers. Early diagnosis and prompt management are key to preventing cancer‐related morbidity and mortality. With advancements in technology and endoscopic techniques, endoscopy has become the core in diagnosis and management of gastrointestinal tract cancers. In this extensive review, the authors discuss the role endoscopy plays in early detection, diagnosis, and management of esophageal, gastric, colorectal, pancreatic, ampullary, biliary tract, and small intestinal cancers.

Epidemiology of small intestine cancer in Iran

Background Little is known about the epidemiology of small intestine (SI) cancer in Iran, a rare cancer entity worldwide. Aims The aim of the present study was to investigate the incidence patterns and survival rates of SI cancer in Iran through a population‐based study. Methods and Results Data on all reported cases of SI cancer were extracted from the Iran National Cancer Registry based on ICD‐O‐3 codes. Age‐standardized incidence rates (ASIR), age‐specific incidence rates, standardized rate ratios (SRR), time trends, and absolute survival rates were calculated. During 2005–2015, a total of 4928 SI cancers (ASIR: 0.87/100 000) were diagnosed, including 2835 carcinomas (ASIR: 0.51), 214 neuroendocrine malignancies (ASIR: 0.04), 228 sarcomas (ASIR: 0.04), and 704 lymphomas (ASIR: 0.11). Carcinomas and lymphomas occurred more frequently in men than in women (SRR: 1.37/100 000 and 1.85/100 000, respectively), while the other two histological subtypes were almost equally distributed. 78% of carcinomas and 53% of neuroendocrine tumors were located in the duodenum. Sarcomas occurred most frequently in the jejunum (41%), while lymphomas were most frequently in the ileum (44%). From 2005 to 2015, the number of reported cases of SI cancer increased by 9.6% per year. The median age of diagnosis for women and men was 61. The absolute 5‐year survival rate was 35.3%, varying by sex, age, and subtype. Carcinomas had the lowest survival rate (24.1%) while neuroendocrine carcinomas had the highest survival rate (69.7%). Conclusion Epidemiological patterns of SI cancer in Iran differed slightly from patterns in the United States and the United Kingdom. In contrast to other countries, the neuroendocrine form is presented as the rarest subtype in Iran. The overall incidence of SI cancer was lower in Iran than in high‐income countries. In contrast, the average prognosis of SI cancer was worse in Iran, indicating the need to improve early detection, diagnosis, and treatment.

Small intestine cancer is relatively rare. Clinical reports have suggested that several medical conditions may predispose to increased occurrence of this cancer, but otherwise its etiology is unknown. In one of the first case-control studies of this cancer, we compared questionnaire responses provided by next-of-kin of 430 persons who died of small intestine cancer cf921 controls who died of other causes. Subjects were identified from decedents included in the 1986 United States National Mortality Followback Survey. The questionnaires sought information on demographic and lifestyle characteristics, including diet and use of tobacco and alcohol. Tobacco and alcohol consumption were unrelated to risk of small intestine cancer, but weekly or more frequent consumption of red meat and monthly or more frequent intake of salt-cured/smoked foods were associated with two- to three fold increases in risk. The findings suggest that dietary factors probably are involved in risk of small intestine cancer, but additional research in other settings is required to clarify the determinants of these rare cancers.
