Small Bowel (Small Intestine) Cancer

Winship is Georgia’s only National Cancer Institute-designated Comprehensive Cancer Center, diagnosing, treating and managing every type of small bowel cancer, also called small intestine cancer, with individualized care and the most advanced therapies.

Why Winship for Your Small Bowel Cancer

Small bowel cancers are rare diseases that develop in the small intestine. They’re difficult to diagnose because symptoms are nonspecific and the small bowel is less accessible with standard endoscopic techniques.

At Winship Cancer Institute of Emory University, our multidisciplinary team of gastrointestinal cancer specialists has expertise in evaluating small bowel cancers, including identifying the features that guide treatment decisions. We develop individualized treatment plans tailored to each patient.

Dedicated Gastrointestinal Cancer Specialists

Your highly specialized team of medical experts — from GI surgeons to medical oncologists to pathologists — treats a high volume of patients with small bowel cancer across Georgia.

Diagnostics That Go Deeper

Our experienced team uses the most advanced imaging technology, endoscopy techniques and, where appropriate, molecular profiling to define tumor subtype and guide therapy.

Tailored Small Bowel Cancer Treatment

Small bowel cancer is rare, so understanding the location, stage and tumor type is crucial to designing the most appropriate treatment plan. This may include surgery, chemotherapy, targeted therapy or clinical trials.

Treatment You Can’t Get Anywhere Else in Georgia

Winship offers access to clinical trials and novel therapies not widely available in the region. Our patients get access to the most cutting-edge therapies for small bowel cancer.

More Promising Outcomes

Winship is focused on improving outcomes of patients with small bowel cancer through multidisciplinary care and clinical research.

Support Every Step of the Way

In addition to your clinical care team, you’ll have supportive care specialists — from nutritionists to counselors — to help guide you on your cancer journey.
