Small bowel cancer is an uncommon type of cancer that occurs in the small intestine. Our small intestine is also called "small bowel", it is like a long tube that connects the stomach and our large intestine and also serves to digest food.
The small intestine is meant to digest and absorb nutrients from the foods we eat. With its help, hormones are produced which helps in the digestion of food. The small intestine also plays a huge role in building the germ-resistance of our body, as it contains cells that fight bacteria and viruses that enter our body via the mouth.
