Overview
There are no established preventive measures to prohibit developing small intestinal cancers. However, limiting tobacco and alcohol use, moderate healthy diet consumption and treatment of gastroenteritis and other intestinal pathology with increased risk of carcinomatos changes in polyps, can decrease the incidence of small intestinal cancers.
Primary Prevention
There are no established primary preventive measures to prohibit developing small intestinal cancers. However, some measures for primary prevention of small intestine cancer include life style changes for modifiable risk factors. These are as follows:
- Treatment of celiac disease, Crohns disease can prevent progression to Adenocarcinoma of small intestine.
- Smoking is a major risk factor for various cancers. Quitting smoking plays a major role in decreasing the risk of small intestine cancer. [1]
- People with genetic predisposition such as Peutz-Jeghers syndrome and Adenomatous polyposis coli (APC) may undergo screening for early diagnosis.
- Limiting alcohol consumption may also decrease the risk of getting small intestine cancer.[2]
- Moderate diet and maintaining weight are life style modifications to decrease the risk of small intestine cancer, as obesity and unhealthy eating habits are associated with increased risk of small intestine cancer.[3]
- Biliary tract diseases such as cholecystitis and gallstones prevention and their early treatment may play a role in preventing small intestine cancer.[4]
- Eradication of Helicobacter pylori and prevention of Peptic ulcer disease (PUD) are other important life style modifications for prevention of small intestine cancer.[5]
