Abstract
Primary small bowel adenocarcinoma (SBA) is a rare disease with no clear guidelines on screening, diagnosis, or treatment. It has been associated with hereditary cancer syndromes; however, most cases are sporadic and frequently associated with inflammatory bowel disease. We present the case of a 43-year-old male who presented with abdominal pain, nausea, and vomiting and was initially diagnosed with a Crohn's disease flare. He subsequently developed a small bowel perforation and was taken to the operating room for resection of the inflamed segment of the ileum; this was later found to be secondary to an obstructing small bowel adenocarcinoma. He developed an anastomotic leak, which mandated re-exploration and allowed for the completion of an oncologic resection. Small bowel adenocarcinoma is difficult to diagnose and treat due to the absence of clear guidelines and the lack of randomized controlled trials in the setting of a very low incidence.

Abstract
IMPORTANCE Although small intestinal adenocarcinomas (SIAs) are rare, they have a poor prognosis, and the optimal treatment strategies are largely unknown. Because of the lack of high-quality evidence, guidelines for colorectal cancer are often followed in the treatment of SIAs. OBJECTIVE To review the current evidence regarding survival benefit of systemic therapies, including chemotherapy, targeted agents, and immunotherapy, for patients with SIAs. DATA SOURCES Following the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-analyses, MEDLINE and Embase were searched for articles published from January 1, 2005, until June 1, 2022. STUDY SELECTION Retrospective cohort studies and prospective phase 2 or 3 trials describing survival after systemic therapies for patients with SIAs were eligible for inclusion. Assessment of study eligibility was blinded and performed by 3 reviewers. DATA EXTRACTION AND SYNTHESIS The reviewers independently extracted data. Random effects, inverse variance, pairwise meta-analyses were performed. MAIN OUTCOMES AND MEASURES Primary outcomes were overall survival (OS) and progression-free survival (PFS) of patients with SIAs after systemic therapies. Measures of interest included hazard ratios for survival and median survival times. RESULTS Overall, 57 retrospective cohort and phase 2 studies of 35 176 patients were included. Adjuvant chemotherapy, generally fluoropyrimidine-based, was associated with increased OS in stage I to III SIAs (hazard ratio [HR], 0.60; 95% CI, 0.53-0.68), especially in stage III tumors (HR, 0.55; 95% CI, 0.48-0.64), irrespective of tumor localization. Palliative chemotherapy was also associated with an OS benefit (HR, 0.48; 95% CI, 0.40-0.58). Fluoropyrimidine-oxaliplatin combinations were superior to other regimens (OS: HR, 0.54; 95% CI, 0.30-0.99; PFS: HR, 0.46; 95% CI, 0.30-0.71). Furthermore, bevacizumab added to chemotherapy compared with chemotherapy alone was associated with significantly prolonged PFS (HR, 0.62; 95% CI, 0.43-0.89). Immunotherapy showed a 50% overall response rate in previously treated defective mismatch repair tumors. CONCLUSIONS AND RELEVANCE In this systematic review and meta-analysis, adjuvant and palliative chemotherapy were both associated with improved survival of patients with SIAs, especially fluoropyrimidine-based regimens and fluoropyrimidine-oxaliplatin combinations. Adding bevacizumab to chemotherapy appears to prolong PFS and deserves further investigation. Immunotherapy seems beneficial and should be considered for patients with defective mismatch repair tumors. International collaborations should be undertaken to confirm and improve efficacy of systemic therapies for patients with SIAs.

Abstract
Duodenal cancer is considered to be a small intestinal carcinoma in terms of clinicopathology. In Japan, there are no established treatment guidelines based on sufficient scientific evidence; therefore, in daily clinical practice, treatment is based on the experience of individual physicians. However, with advances in diagnostic modalities, it is anticipated that opportunities for its detection will increase in future. We developed guidelines for duodenal cancer because this disease is considered to have a high medical need from both healthcare providers and patients for appropriate management. These guidelines were developed for use in actual clinical practice for patients suspected of having non-ampullary duodenal epithelial malignancy and for patients diagnosed with non-ampullary duodenal epithelial malignancy. In this study, a practice algorithm was developed in accordance with the Minds Practice Guideline Development Manual 2017, and Clinical Questions were set for each area of epidemiology and diagnosis, endoscopic treatment, surgical treatment, and chemotherapy. A draft recommendation was developed through a literature search and systematic review, followed by a vote on the recommendations. We made decisions based on actual clinical practice such that the level of evidence would not be the sole determinant of the recommendation. This guideline is the most standard guideline as of the time of preparation. It is important to decide how to handle each case in consultation with patients and their family, the treating physician, and other medical personnel, considering the actual situation at the facility (and the characteristics of the patient).

Abstract
Background Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), subdivided into Crohn's disease (CD) and ulcerative colitis (UC), is an auto-inflammatory gastrointestinal condition with an established increased risk of certain malignancies. Compared to sporadic cancers in the general population, IBD-associated malignancies present unique challenges to providing quality care. Radiation therapy (RT) targeting IBD-associated malignancies may directly impact inflamed bowel, with special considerations for the risk of toxicities. Historically, patients with IBD have been less likely to receive radiotherapy in proximity to bowel due to a poor understanding of the potential for acute and chronic toxicities and unclear treatment outcomes. We present a scoping review, to more fully assess IBD-associated malignancies and their treatment. As opposed to a systematic review, this approach allows us to analyze the broadest range of literature, including experimental and non-experimental research, and reflect on current guidelines and practices. Methods Literature search: a systematic, scoping search of published literature was conducted using applicable PRISMA scoping review (ScR) guidelines. The literature search was conducted on PubMed and was searched systematically by screening all publications from January 1990 to June 2021. Citations from the included articles were also manually searched. Relevant National Comprehensive Cancer Network guidelines were reviewed. Final query was December 2021 in editing. Articles were selected for full text reading if the abstract reported on malignancy in IBD or bowel toxicities. Results The pelvic malignancies found in the IBD patient population, including colorectal carcinoma, anal carcinoma, lymphoma, small bowel adenocarcinoma (SBA), and prostate cancer (PCa) are outlined in this scoping review. Additional cancers that have a contested relationship with IBD, including cervical, bladder, and upper GI cancers, are also explored. This review provides literature guided recommendations on the eligibility of patients with IBD to receive RT, management of IBD during and after treatment, and counseling for radiation-induced toxicities. Conclusions After review of the literature, IBD should not be considered an absolute contraindication to radiation therapy, given the lack of evidence for increased toxicities, and the evolution of RT techniques which limit radiation dose to the bowel.

Abstract
Small bowel cancers are rare diseases whose prognosis is poorer than that of colon cancers. Due to disease rarity, there is little data on small bowel adenocarcinoma (SBA) treatment, and most recommendations come from expert agreements or analogies to the management of colon cancer. Although relatively high rates of local recurrence are observed for duodenal malignancies, distant metastatic relapse remains common and requires adjuvant systemic therapy. Given the similarities between SBA and colorectal cancer, radiotherapy and chemotherapy strategies used for the latter disease are frequently pursued for the former disease, specifically for tumors located in the duodenum. However, no previous randomized study has evaluated the benefit of adjuvant chemotherapy on the overall survival of SBA patients. Most previous studies on treatment outcomes and prognostic factors in this context were based on large international databases, such as the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results or the National Cancer Database. Studies are required to establish and validate prognostic and predictive markers relevant in this context to inform the use of (neo) adjuvant treatment. Among those, deficient mismatch repair tumors represent 20% of SBAs, but their impact on chemosensitivity remains unknown. Herein, we summarize the current evidence on the management of localized SBA, including future perspectives.

Abstract
Background: Small intestine adenocarcinoma is a rare cancer. The current study aims to determine the outcomes of patients with small intestine adenocarcinoma in a Canadian province. Methods: This retrospective population-based cohort study assessed patients with small intestine adenocarcinoma who were diagnosed from 2008 to 2017 in Saskatchewan. A Cox proportional multivariate regression analysis was performed to determine the correlation between survival and exploratory factors. Results: 112 eligible patients with a median age of 73 years and M:F of 47:53 were identified. Overall, 75% had a comorbid illness, and 45% had a WHO performance status >1. Of the 112 patients, 51 (46%) had early-stage disease and 61 (54%) had advanced-stage disease. The median overall survival (mOS) was as follows: stage one, 59 months; stage two, 30 months; stage three, 20 months; and stage four, 3 months (p < 0.001). The median disease-free survival of patients with stage three disease who received adjuvant chemotherapy was 26 months (95% CI:23.1−28.9) vs. 4 months (0.0−9.1) with observation (p = 0.04). Patients who received chemotherapy for advanced disease had a mOS of 10 months (3.5−16.5) vs. 2 months (0.45−3.6) without chemotherapy (p < 0.001). In the multivariate analysis, stage four disease, hazard ratio (HR), 3.20 (1.84−5.40); WHO performance status >1, HR, 2.22 (1.42−3.45); lack of surgery, HR, 2.10 (1.25−3.50); and a neutrophil:lymphocyte ratio of >4.5, HR, 1.72 (1.10−2.71) were significantly correlated with inferior survival. Conclusions: Most patients with small intestine adenocarcinoma were diagnosed with advanced-stage disease. Advanced-stage disease, poor performance status, lack of surgery and a baseline neutrophil:lymphocyte ratio >4.5 were correlated with inferior survival.

Abstract
Small bowel adenocarcinoma (SBA) is a rare malignancy of the gastrointestinal tract. However, these tumors are among those with worst prognosis. Vague clinical signs and symptoms and radiological diagnostic challenges often delay treatment, which negatively impacts the prognosis of the patients. However, recent advances in imaging technology, like multidetector computed tomography, magnetic resonance imaging, and capsule endoscopy, have made earlier and accurate diagnosis possible. Surgery is the treatment of choice followed by adjuvant therapy. However, there are no strict treatment guidelines available for the management of SBA. Most of the available evidence from colorectal and gastric carcinoma has been extrapolated to adequately manage SBA. Prognosis for SBA is better than gastric carcinoma but worse than colorectal carcinoma. Currently, there is not enough information on the molecular characteristics and tumor pathogenesis. Because the incidence of SBA is very low, there is a need for further studies to evaluate the possible application of newer investigative agents and strategies to obtain a better outcome within the framework of international collaborations.

Abstract
PURPOSE Small intestinal cancers have a non-specific clinical presentation and hence a delayed diagnosis. The prevalence of small intestinal cancers is low, and there are no cost-effective methods of screening. This study aimed to identify clinical characteristics of duodenal and jejunal adenocarcinomas that can assist in the early detection and diagnosis of disease. METHODS Duodenal adenocarcinoma and jejunal adenocarcinoma in Explorys database (1999-2019) were compared using odds ratio (OR) with 95% confidence intervals. Data on demographic characteristics, risk factors, clinical features, and treatment were collected. RESULTS Out of a total of 8100 patients with a diagnosis of primary adenocarcinoma of the small intestine, 5110 are primary adenocarcinoma of duodenum (63%), and 600 are primary adenocarcinoma of jejunum (7.4%). Patients with jejunal adenocarcinoma when compared with patients with duodenal adenocarcinoma are more obese (OR, 1.36) and have a significantly higher prevalence of malignant neoplasm of colon (OR, 3.07), Crohn's disease (OR, 4.42), and celiac disease (OR, 2.48). Jejunal adenocarcinoma patients presented more frequently with intestinal obstruction (OR, 1.99), whereas duodenal adenocarcinoma patients more commonly presented with iron deficiency anemia (OR, 0.16). Patients with jejunal adenocarcinoma are less likely to undergo therapy with anti-neoplastic agents when compared with duodenal adenocarcinoma (OR, 0.81). There are no differences in patients undergoing surgical intervention or a combination of surgical intervention and antineoplastic therapy. CONCLUSIONS Jejunal adenocarcinoma is more commonly associated with colorectal cancer, celiac disease, and Crohn's disease. They also had lower odds of requiring chemotherapeutic agents.

Abstract
RATIONALE Small bowel adenocarcinoma (SBA), an uncommon gastrointestinal malignant tumor, is difficult to diagnose at an early stage because of its non-specific disease presentation. Metachronous SBA is a special type of SBA that is rarely reported. We herein report a case of metachronous primary SBA following resection of rectal adenocarcinoma. PATIENT CONCERNS A 65-year-old man presented to our hospital after having experienced recurrent bowel obstruction for 6 months. He had undergone a Dixon operation 30 months previously followed by adjuvant chemotherapy with capecitabine plus oxaliplatin. DIAGNOSIS Abdominal computed tomography showed thickened bowel walls in the right lower abdomen, and the patient was initially misdiagnosed with intestinal adhesion. After the operation, he was diagnosed with primary SBA (T3N0M0, stage IIA). INTERVENTIONS Treatment with a transnasal ileus tube was ineffective. Therefore, we performed small intestinal segmental resection and side-to-side anastomosis through open surgery. OUTCOMES The patient completed all postoperative adjuvant chemotherapy, and posttreatment surveillance revealed no further abnormalities. LESSONS This case suggests that patients with colorectal adenocarcinoma may have an increased risk of metachronous SBA. Corresponding symptoms in high-risk patients should raise clinicians' suspicion for SBA, and further detailed examinations are imperative. Early screening for SBA may help to improve the patients' prognosis.

Palliative chemotherapy for patients with synchronous metastases of small-bowel adenocarcinoma: A reflection of daily practice. United European Gastroenterol J 2019; 7:1380-1388.

Abstract
Background As small-bowel adenocarcinoma (SBA) is scarce, no standard systemic regimen in metastatic disease has been defined. Objective To obtain insights into the use and effects of palliative chemotherapy in patients with metastatic SBA in a population-based setting. Methods Data from the Netherlands Cancer Registry of patients with metastatic SBA between 2007 and 2016 were used (n = 522). For patients treated with palliative chemotherapy, differences in treatment regimens and survival were evaluated. Results Palliative chemotherapy was received by 38% of patients (n = 199). First-line combination chemotherapy was administered to 80% of patients, mainly CAPOX/FOLFOX. Single-agent chemotherapy mostly consisted of capecitabine. Second-line treatment, mostly irinotecan-based (58%), was prescribed to 27% of patients. Age 70 years or older was an adverse predictive factor for receiving first-line combination chemotherapy (odds ratio (OR) 0.2, 95% confidence interval (CI) 0.08-0.62) and second-line therapy (OR 0.3, 95% CI 0.10-0.72). Median overall survival with palliative chemotherapy was 9.3 months, compared with 3.0 months without. In subanalyses, patients who received only first-line treatment had a median overall survival of 5.6 and 7.0 months after single-agent and combination chemotherapy, respectively. Conclusion A minority of patients were treated with palliative chemotherapy. First-line treatment consisted predominantly of oxaliplatin-based combination chemotherapy, whereas second-line treatment was mainly irinotecan-based. Population-based median overall survival for selected patients treated with chemotherapy amounted to nine months.

Abstract
Although gastrointestinal malignancy is still the major concern of health problems in Worldwide and Thailand, but small intestinal malignancy is extremely rare. The location of small intestinal malignancy is duodenum (73.6%), jejunum (13.2%) and ileum (13.2%). The diagnosing of small intestinal malignancy usually delays due to inaccessible of esophagogastroduodenoscopy especially jejunum and ileum causing poor prognostic outcomes. We reported our case of jejunal adenocarcinoma.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Small bowel adenocarcinoma (SBA) is rare despite the fact that the small bowel represents the longest part and has the largest surface of all alimentary tract sections. Its incidence is 50-fold lower than that of colorectal carcinoma. It is often diagnosed at an advanced stage due to atypical and late symptoms, its low index of suspicion, difficult endoscopic access and poor detection by radiological imaging, resulting in impaired outcome. Due to its rarity and being molecularly a unique intestinal cancer, data regarding its optimal management are relatively sparse. MATERIAL AND METHODS A PubMed search was performed to identify relevant manuscripts that were recently published. Emerging data regarding the pathogenesis, the diagnosis and the treatment of SBA that resulted from recent research are discussed in this comprehensive review. RESULTS Genomic analysis has demonstrated that SBA is a molecularly unique intestinal cancer. Double balloon enteroscopy and capsule endoscopy are novel techniques which may result in earlier diagnosis and consequently in improvement of the generally poor prognosis. For clinically localized disease, the quality of surgery has recently been defined, with removal of at least 8-10 lymph nodes correlating with improved prognosis. Moreover, adjuvant chemotherapy seems to improve outcome of stage III disease. The combination of a fluoropyrimidine and oxaliplatin appears to be the most effective systemic chemotherapy for disseminated disease. Genomic profiling can identify potentially targetable genomic alterations in a significant proportion of SBA patients. The role of administration of targeted agents or immune checkpoint inhibitors is still unknown and subject of ongoing clinical trials. In the common case of peritoneal metastases, recent studies have shown that cytoreductive surgery and intraoperative hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy may be an attractive treatment option in selected patients. CONCLUSIONS SBA is a rare and unique malignancy, whose diagnostic approach and treatment are evolving, resulting in improved outcome.
