Intestinal cancer, also known as small intestine cancer, is a rare type of gastrointestinal cancer.
According to the Cleveland Clinic, this rare cancer type only makes up 3% of all gastrointestinal cancer cases in the United States.
Its counterpart, colon cancer (large intestine cancer), is the third most commonly diagnosed cancer in the country.
In contrast, individuals have a 5% chance of developing rectal cancer.
According to the National Cancer Institute, there are five types of small intestine cancer:
Exposure to contaminated drinking water at Camp Lejeune is a possible risk factor for intestinal cancer.
From the 1950s to the 1980s, thousands of Marines and their families were exposed to toxic chemicals, including benzene, trichloroethylene, and tetrachloroethylene, which have been linked to various health problems, including intestinal cancer.
Studies have linked exposure to tetrachloroethylene (PCE) specifically to an increased risk for intestinal cancers:
While the exact causes of intestinal cancer remain complex and multifactorial, several risk factors have been identified.
This type of cancer is commonly inherited from parents or their ancestors.
Oftentimes, a genetic mutation causes the likelihood of developing this rare disease.
In terms of detection, colon cancer screening tests could lead the healthcare provider in the right direction.
Some of the most common intestinal and colon cancer risk factors include:
Intestinal cancer can lead to various complications, emphasizing the importance of early detection and treatment.
Some of the primary complications associated with intestinal cancer include:
Efforts to raise awareness, improve early detection, and support affected individuals are essential in the ongoing battle against cancer.
These steps are all key to prevent colon cancer and intestinal cancer.
Camp Lejeune’s water supply was contaminated with highly toxic substances that have been known to cause cancer and other health issues.
While the water at Camp Lejeune was known to be contaminated, the federal government did nothing to intervene.
Efforts from Camp Lejeune victims have resulted in multiple pieces of legislation aimed to expand VA health care benefits, disability compensation, and other forms of relief for those who’ve been impacted, one of these pieces being the Camp Lejeune Families Act of 2012.
The Camp Lejeune Justice Act of 2022, signed into law by President Biden, allows Camp Lejeune victims to pursue compensation claims for their health problems and related damages.
The Camp Lejeune administrative claims process involves submitting compensation claims to the Navy’s Tort Claims Unit.
The Navy TCU will promptly review compensation claims and assess victims’ eligibility for Camp Lejeune settlements.

Experienced Camp Lejeune lawyers can help victims through the Camp Lejeune administrative claims process and subsequent Camp Lejeune Lawsuits.

More chemicals were discovered in the affected water treatment supplies, but these four were found at larger concentrations and are the most clinically significant.

The water contamination at U.S. Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune occurred between 1953 and 1987.
Two of the eight water treatment plants, Tarawa Terrace and Hadnot Point, were heavily contaminated by volatile organic compounds (VOCs.)
After an extensive investigation, authorities discovered that the source of the water supply contamination came from the water waste of an off-based dry cleaning shop called ABC One-Hour Cleaners, as well as waste disposal sites and leaking underground storage tanks.
The ATSDR estimated that the perchloroethylene (PCE) levels in these water supplies exceeded the maximum limit of 5 ppb.
Last year, President Joe Biden signed the Honoring Our PACT Act of 2022 into law.
Section 804 of this law is the Camp Lejeune Justice Act, which allows victims of the incident to file an administrative claim for the damages they sustained from the water contamination incident.
If a victim’s administrative claim is not adjudicated within six months, they can file a Camp Lejeune Lawsuit in the US District Court for the Eastern District of North Carolina.
The outcome of intestinal cancer treatment depends on several factors, including the type and stage of cancer and the patient’s overall health.
In many cases, intestinal cancer can be treated successfully, and some individuals can be cured.
According to the National Comprehensive Cancer Network, treatment options may include surgery, chemotherapy, radiation therapy, immunotherapy, and targeted therapy to kill cancer cells.
However, the prognosis varies from person to person, and some cases of intestinal cancer may be more challenging to cure than others.
Yes, many people survive intestinal cancer.
The survival rate for intestinal cancer depends on various factors, including the stage at diagnosis, the type of cancer, the effectiveness of treatment, and the individual’s overall health.
Early detection and treatment can significantly improve the chances of survival.
Regular screenings and prompt medical attention are essential for improving outcomes.
For example, individuals with Stage III colon cancer could have lower chances of recovery than those in earlier stages.
