Leiomyosarcoma of the small intestine is a rare type of cancer that is not well understood. The exact cause of this type of cancer is unknown, but there are some risk factors that may increase the likelihood of developing it. These include:

• Age: Leiomyosarcoma of the small intestine is more common in people over the age of 50.

• Gender: Men are more likely to develop this type of cancer than women.

• Family history: Having a family history of cancer increases the risk of developing leiomyosarcoma of the small intestine.

• Radiation exposure: People who have been exposed to radiation, such as those who have had radiation therapy for other types of cancer, may be at an increased risk of developing leiomyosarcoma of the small intestine.

The treatment for Leiomyosarcoma of the small intestine depends on the stage of the cancer and the patient's overall health. Generally, treatment options may include surgery, chemotherapy, radiation therapy, and/or targeted therapy.
