“…Among the complications, bleeding, perforation, and post-coagulation syndrome were directly related to DBE. Bleeding occurred after snare polypectomy (2), epinephrine injection (1), and argon plasma coagulation (APC) (1), and was controlled successfully by endoscopic treatment (2), conservative care (1), and trans-arterial embolization (1). All the perforations occurred after APC, and were managed by surgery (2) or endoscopy (1).…”

Background Small bowel tumors are relatively rare, and their confirmative diagnosis before surgery is not easy. Aims This study was performed to investigate the clinical characteristics of patients with small bowel tumors who received double-balloon enteroscopy (DBE). Secondary end points were to evaluate the usefulness and safety of DBE for the diagnosis of patients with suspected SB tumors derived from other previous procedures. Methods We retrospectively analyzed consecutive DBE examinations to explore the small intestine in eight university hospitals over a 5-year period. Results A total of 877 DBE examinations (per oral 487, per anal 390) were performed in 645 patients (405 males, mean age 48.2 years). Small bowel tumors were diagnosed in 112 patients (17.4%), of which 38 patients had benign polyps, 29 had gastrointestinal stromal tumors/leiomyomata, 18 had lymphomas, 14 had adenocarcinomas, five had metastatic or invasive cancers, five had lipomas, and three patients had cystic tumors. The main reasons for DBE among patients with small bowel tumors were obscure gastrointestinal bleeding (OGIB, 40.2%) followed by abnormal imaging study (25.2%). The concordance rate of diagnoses based on DBE with diagnoses based on small bowel follow-through, CT, and capsule endoscopy among patients with small bowel tumors was 68.9% (42/61), 75.3% (70/93), and 78.3% (18/23), respectively. Therapeutic plans were changed due to the DBE results in 64.2% of patients with small bowel tumors. Conclusions Approximately one-sixth of patients who received DBE had small bowel tumors, and the most common reason for DBE among patients with small bowel tumors was OGIB. DBE is a useful method for the 123Dig Dis Sci (2011) 56:2920-2927 DOI 10.1007/s10620-011-1839 confirmative diagnosis of small bowel tumors and has a good clinical impact on therapeutic plans and short-term clinical results.

IntroductionSmall bowel cancer is a rare malignancy that accounts for only 2% of all gastrointestinal cancers (Paski, 2009;Pan et al, 2011). The incidence of malignant small intestine tumors, which ranges from 0.5-1.5/100,000 in men and 0.2-1.0/100,000 in women (Parkin et al, 1992), seems to be higher in North America and Europe than Asia (Haselkorn et al, 2005).

Asian Pac J Cancer Prev, 16 (18), 8613-8618 IntroductionSmall bowel cancer is a rare malignancy that accounts for only 2% of all gastrointestinal cancers (Paski, 2009;Pan et al, 2011). The incidence of malignant small intestine tumors, which ranges from 0.5-1.5/100,000 in men and 0.2-1.0/100,000 in women (Parkin et al., 1992), seems to be higher in North America and Europe than Asia (Haselkorn et al., 2005). Most cases of small bowel cancer are diagnosed late in the course of the disease because of its vague clinical presentations (e.g. abdominal pain and abdominal discomfort), and patients who present with obvious clinical manifestations such as gastrointestinal bleeding, intestinal obstruction, or ascites are almost always diagnosed with advanced stage cancer. The most common malignancy lesions are adenocarcinoma, neuroendocrine tumor (NET), sarcomas, and small bowel lymphoma. However, the incidence of small bowel cancer is increasing, particularly for carcinoid tumor (Islam, 2014). The small bowel is not a common location of metastatic cancers, although there are many case reports Based on radiology and endoscopy, this study revealed upper gastrointestinal bleeding, an intra-abdominal mass, and a sub-epithelial mass as common symptoms of GIST. Obstruction and ulcerating/circumferential masses were findicative of adenocarcinoma, as revealed by radiology and endoscopy, respectively. Finally, no specific symptoms were related to lymphoma.
