What is the difference between small intestine cancer and large intestine cancer? The symptoms of small intestine cancer are different

Both colorectal cancer and small intestinal cancer are malignant tumors, but the symptoms of small intestinal cancer are not so obvious in the early stage. It is not easy to detect, so today we will introduce to you the difference between colorectal cancer and small intestinal cancer.

First, let’s take a look at the symptoms of small intestine cancer:

1. Early symptoms of small intestinal cancer Poisoning symptoms Due to the blood loss and toxin absorption caused by tumor ulceration, patients often experience anemia, low fever, fatigue, weight loss, edema and other early symptoms of small intestinal cancer. Anemia and weight loss are the most common.

2. Early symptoms of small intestinal cancer include abdominal distension, discomfort, indigestion, etc. Then there will be changes in bowel habits, such as increased bowel movements, diarrhea or constipation, abdominal pain before defecation, and later there may be mucus in the stool or mucus-purulent blood in the stool.

3. Early symptoms of small intestinal cancer Intestinal obstruction is manifested as incomplete or complete low-position intestinal obstruction symptoms, such as abdominal distension, abdominal pain, constipation or constipation. Physical examination can show abdominal distension, intestinal shape, local tenderness, and strong bowel sounds.

Once again, let us understand the early symptoms of colorectal cancer:

1. Abdominal distension and pain are caused by intestinal dysfunction or intestinal obstruction, mostly in the middle and lower abdomen. Most of them are dull pain or distending pain, and tend to gradually worsen.

2. Blood in the stool: Because the lesion is close to the anus, the blood is often bright red or dark red, and often separates from the stool.

3. Anemia: When long-term chronic blood loss exceeds the body's hematopoietic compensatory function, the patient may develop anemia, an early symptom of colorectal cancer.

4. Changes in bowel habits and characteristics: patients with rectal cancer may have more bowel movements, but not much stool each time, or even no stool at all. Only some mucus and blood are discharged, and there is a feeling of incomplete bowel movements.

What is the difference between small intestine cancer and large intestine cancer? Through the above editor's compilation of some symptoms of large intestine cancer and small intestine cancer, we can distinguish these two diseases in the early stages.
