It is an extremely common form of cancer, with around 140,000 new cases being diagnosed in the US each year. It is a serious disease that is often fatal if not diagnosed and treated in time. Symptoms of intestinal cancer include abdominal pain, changes in bowel habits, unexplained weight loss, and blood in the stool.
