What are the signs and symptoms of the disease?

Adenocarcinoma of the small intestine generally causes vague symptoms. In some cases, symptoms may not occur until the tumor is large and blocks part or all of the small intestine. Some symptoms include:

abdominal pain after meals

anemia, which is a low red blood cell count

nausea

The person can have symptoms from specific organ damage if the cancer has metastasized.
