“…It has been reported that adjuvant chemotherapy could significantly improve TNM stage III SBA patients compared to those receiving only surgical treatment [32] . The combination of a fluoropyrimidine and oxaliplatin appears to be the most effective systemic chemotherapy for disseminated disease [33] . However, the efficacy of adjuvant chemotherapy appear to have minimal impact in improving the prognosis of patients with TNM stage I and II disease [ 32 , 33 ].…”

However, the efficacy of adjuvant chemotherapy appear to have minimal impact in improving the prognosis of patients with TNM stage I and II disease [ 32 , 33 ]. Furthermore, there is limited evidence to support the efficacy of radiotherapy and therefore, adjuvant radiotherapy is not recommended for patients with SBA [33] .…”

“…Lymph node metastasis and distal small intestine location (jejunum and ileum) have been found to be the most important independent factors determining prognosis,9 with nodal metastasis being the main prognostic factor 10. While current SBA surgery guidelines require the removal of 8–10 regional lymph nodes to investigate for metastasis, as it correlates with improved prognosis,11 only a single lymph node was harvested from our patient’s excised tumour; considering that the exploratory laparotomy was performed urgently for small bowel obstruction (SBO)—with significant time spent on lysis of adhesions—rather than with the intention of a tumour resection or a suspicion for SBA, the recommended number of nodes was not removed. Nonetheless, improved 10-year survival is found in the well-differentiated and moderately differentiated compared with that of the undifferentiated subtype (43% vs 0%, respectively) 3.…”

“…The second duodenal portion is the site with the highest incidence of adenocarcinoma (74%), followed by the third (13%), fourth (9%) and first (4%) portions. Early lesions, confined to the mucosa and submucosa, can be managed by endoscopic mucosal or submucosal resection, but for an advanced disease, surgical resection represents the best approach ( 87 ).…”
