Overview
Treatment options
- Primary treatment for cancer of the small intestine is curative surgical resection.[1]
- For non-metastatic disease curative surgery gives good results, when done in a tertiary care center.[2]
- Adenocarcinoma of duodenum has a comparitive low 5-year disease free survival rate after surgery.[2]
- Although surgical resection of small intestinal cancer plays an important role in the treatment, 5 yr survival rate is low even after surgery.[3]
- Small intestine resection: In this operation, surgeon removes the piece of intestine that has the tumor and some of the normal tissue on each side of the tumor.
- Palliative operation: If small intestine cancer has spread too far in the abdomen, the surgeon will do a palliative operation. The goal of this type of surgery is to decrease symptoms such as abdominal pain and abdominal distension.
Chemotherapy: The treatment is to use drugs to stop the growth of cancer cells either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. Some general chemotherapy drugs used include: 5-fluorouracil (5FU), leucovorin, oxaliplatin, and irinotecan.
Radiation therapy: This is a cancer treatment to kill cancer cells or keep them from growing by using high-energy x-rays or other types of radiation.
