A member asked:
Would it be possible to feel an intestinal tumor by palpation? would it feel long and skinny (length and width of a finger)?

Unlikely: Most of the early tumors of GI tract are not palpable even in skinny people, possible to feel at late stages , some stromal cell tumors metastasis to omentum , if you feel a lump you must see your doctor to find out what it is, make an appointment.
