Appendiceal or appendix cancer is a rare cancer that grows from cells that make up the appendix, explains the National Cancer Institute. The appendix is a small pouch of tissue in the abdomen, connected to the large intestine.
In the U.S., appendiceal cancer "has been thought to affect about 1 or 2 people per 1 million per year. However, recent studies show that appendiceal cancer is becoming more common," the National Cancer Institute says on its website.
