Indolent T-cell Lymphoproliferative Disorder of the Gastrointestinal (GI) Tract is a very rare and unusual medical condition. It is a type of blood-related disease in which a certain group of immune cells, called T-cells, begin to grow slowly and collect in the lining of the digestive tract.
The GI tract includes organs such as the stomach, small intestine, colon, and rectum. The word “indolent” means slow-growing or not aggressive, which means this disorder usually develops very gradually over time.
Many sufferers of Indolent T-cell Lymphoproliferative Disorder of the Gastrointestinal (GI) Tract struggle because they feel that their disease doesn’t have the same level of awareness as more common cancers. Without a Ribbon is an Australian non-profit organisation that believes that rare cancers should never go unnoticed. We aim to provide a detailed set of resources and information for anyone suffering from cancers such as Indolent T-cell Lymphoproliferative Disorder of the Gastrointestinal (GI) Tract. We have recently created an Indolent T-cell Lymphoproliferative Disorder of the Gastrointestinal (GI) Tract resource page to help sufferers understand their disease. It covers the symptoms, available treatments and other important information.
We hope that this resource page will help you or a friend/family member to learn about their illness and aid them through their battle with the disease.
