Cancer of the small intestine

Comment
Tumours occurring in the small intestine can be adenocarcinomas (30-40%), carcinoid (about 35%), lymphomas (15-20%; included in non-Hodgkin lymphoma in the present study), or sarcomas (10-15%). Little is known about environmental determinants of small intestinal cancer. So far, no occupational studies have convincingly indicated any associations between exposure to occupational agents and small intestine cancer [64].
