Overview

There are no known screening protocols for small intestinal cancer detection.

Screening

• There is insufficient evidence to recommend routine screening for small intestinal cancers as rarity of condition makes it a less suspected condition.
• If a person is predisposed genetically to develop small intestine adenocarcinoma, tests such as endoscopy may be done for early detection.
