Materials and methods: The charts of 401 consecutive patients with well-differentiated, small bowel NETS, treated at a collaborative clinic were reviewed. Information relating to the extent of disease and all tumor-related surgeries were collected from the patient records. Kaplan-Meier survival curves...
Neuroendocrine tumors (NETs) of the small bowel are rare and slow-growing tumors arising from intraepithelial endocrine cells that synthesize serotonin. Diagnosis of these tumors poses a signifcant challenge because they are often not diagnosed until an advanced stage, since the tumor may be ...
The role of CE is not limited to diagnosis alone; the test also can determine the extent of tumor involvement and assess response to treatment.41In patients with type II refractory celiac disease, CE can be useful in diagnosing underlying T-cell lymphoma.42CE is superior to small-bowel follow...
Small bowel neuroendocrine tumors (SBNETs) have been increasing in frequency over the past decades, and are now the most common type of small bowel tumor. Consequently, general surgeons and surgical oncologists are seeing more patients with SBNETs in their practices than ever before. The managemen...
colorectal cancer, often present with more advanced disease and experience relatively worse outcomes; the characteristics and treatment outcomes for less common early-onset small bowel neuroendocrine tumors (SBNETs) have yet to be explored.Methods:We used the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results ...
Small bowel tumours are rare and originate from a wide variety of benign and malignant entities. Adenocarcinomas are the most frequent primary malignant small bowel tumours. Submucosal tumours like gastrointestinal stromal tumours (GIST) or neuroendocrine tumours (NET) may show a central umbilication, ...
We should be able to improve our diagnostic acumen in cases of tumors of the small bowel. Obscure abdominal symptoms should bring to mind the possibility o... TM Joyce - 《Annals of Surgery》 被引量: 5发表: 1934年 Malignant tumors of the small intestine ABSTRACT A Azem - 《Constant Curre...
This situation is further complicated by the variety of small bowel tumors, each with different symptoms and manifestations. Surgical excision is the treatment of choice for almost every small intestinal neoplasm. For most benign lesions simple excision is adequate. In contrast, for malignancies, ...
bowel resection. Additionally, cancer, Crohn's disease, infection, and radiation may all lead to fistula formation. Initial treatment of a small bowel fistula usually consists of bowel rest andtotal parenteral nutrition(TPN) to decrease fistula output and optimize nutrition. In some patients, this ...
acute abdomen,ascites, and obstruction of organs, such as the esophagus, bowel,ureter, orbile duct.36Some patients (approximately 5%) present with tumor outside theabdominal cavity. The most prevalent sites include thethoracic cavity, lung, kidney, lymph node, hand, and posterior cranial fossa....
