(C26.0) Malignant neoplasm: intestinal tract, part unspecified

Malignant neoplasms of the intestinal tract, part unspecified, occur when normal cells in the intestinal tract undergo changes in their dna, resulting in uncontrolled cell growth and the formation of a tumor. this type of cancer can spread to other parts of the body, and is usually treated with surgery, chemotherapy, or radiation therapy.

Malignant neoplasm of the intestinal tract is caused by the abnormal and uncontrolled growth of cells in the intestinal tract. this abnormal growth is typically caused by damage to the dna of the cells, which leads to mutations in the genes that control cell growth and division. these mutations cause the cells to divide and grow in an uncontrolled manner, forming a tumor. the tumor can then spread to other parts of the body, resulting in a malignancy.

• Radiation therapy to shrink the tumor
• Immunotherapy to boost the body’s immune system
• Targeted therapy to attack specific cancer cells
• Hormone therapy to stop the hormones that feed the tumor
• Stem cell transplant to replace damaged cells
• Clinical trials to test new treatments
