What Are the Symptoms of an Intestinal Tumor?

Occurred in benign and malignant tumors of the small and large intestine. Clinical manifestations vary depending on the nature and location of the tumor. Generally, benign tumors are asymptomatic or mild. Some malignancies have no obvious symptoms at an early stage, which affects diagnosis, treatment and prognosis. Among intestinal tumors, the incidence of small bowel tumors is lower than that of the esophagus, stomach, and large intestine. Diagnosis can be confirmed by X-ray angiography, gastrointestinal endoscopy, and biopsy. Treatment should be surgically removed. The prognosis of benign tumors is good.

1. Age of onset. Most patients develop disease after age 50.
2. Family history: If someone's first-degree relatives, such as parents, have had a colorectal tumor, he is 8 times more likely to develop the disease in his lifetime than the general population. About a quarter of newly diagnosed people have a family history of colorectal tumors.
3. History of colon diseases: Certain colon diseases such as Crohn's disease or ulcerative colitis may increase the incidence of colorectal tumors. Their colon tumors are 30 times more dangerous than ordinary people.
4. Polyps: Most colorectal tumors develop from small precancerous lesions. They are called polyps. Among them, villous adenoma-like polyps are more likely to develop into cancer, and the chance of malignancy becoming about 25%; tubular adenoma-like polyps have a malignant rate of 1-5%.
5. Genetic characteristics: Some familial tumor syndromes, such as hereditary nonpolyposis colon tumors, can significantly increase the incidence of colorectal tumors. And the onset time is younger.
