Appendix cancer or appendiceal cancer is a type of gastrointestinal cancers, originating from the appendix (a small fingerlike pouch of the large intestine). This is one of the rare cancer types (about 0.5% of all intestinal cancers). Only less than 1,000 Americans are diagnosed with appendix cancer each year.
The outcome for appendix cancer depends on the size of the tumor. Smaller tumors (less than 2 centimeters) are less likely to spread. However, larger tumors (larger than 2 centimeters) are more dangerous and require more aggressive treatment.
