Overview

Physical examination of patients with small intestine cancer is usually unremarkable.

Physical Examination

The physical exam will focus on areas of discomfort in the abdomen, the presence of a mass in the abdomen, an enlarged liver, fluid or swelling in the abdomen, any skin color change (yellow jaundice), or enlarged lymph nodes. The stool must be checked for blood.
