Overview

NCI Definition: A carcinoma arising from the small intestine. The vast majority are adenocarcinomas. The remaining cases are adenosquamous, squamous, or undifferentiated carcinomas. [1]

Small intestinal carcinomas most frequently harbor alterations in KRAS, TP53, APC, PIK3CA, and SMAD4 [2].

Most Commonly Altered Genes in Small Intestinal Carcinoma

KRAS Mutation, KRAS Exon 2 Mutation, TP53 Mutation, KRAS Codon 12 Missense, and TP53 c.217-c.1178 Missense are the most common alterations in small intestinal carcinoma [2].
