The small bowel includes the ileum, jejunum and duodenum. The grade refers to how quickly or slowly the cancer cells are dividing and growing. The stage of a neuroendocrine cancer tells you its size ...

They increase nonpropulsive contractions in the middle of the small intestine (jejunum) and decrease longitudinal propulsive peristalsis - motions critical to moving food through the intestines.

Right at the end of the ileum, just before it joins to the colon, is a small pouch called the appendix. The term ‘small bowel neuroendocrine cancers’ usually means cancers that develop in the ileum ...

Surface area for drug absorption The villi and microvilli responsible for the vast absorptive surface in the small intestine are of highest concentration in the duodenum and proximal jejunum.

In contrast to BPD and JIB in which the entire duodenum and jejunum are effectively bypassed, patients who undergo RYGB lose only 100–200 cm of proximal small bowel absorptive length ...
