Abstract:
The clinicopathological features and prognosis of primary small bowel adenocarcinoma (PSBA), excluding duodenal cancer, remain undetermined due to its rarity in Japan. Methods We analyzed 354 patients with 358 PSBAs, between January 2008 and December 2017, at 44 institutions affiliated with the Japanese Society for Cancer of the Colon and Rectum. Results The median age was 67 years (218 males, 61.6%). The average tumor size was 49.9 (7–100) mm. PSBA sites consisted of jejunum (66.2%) and ileum (30.4%). A total of 219 patients (61.9%) underwent diagnostic small bowel endoscopy, including single-balloon endoscopy, double-balloon endoscopy, and capsule endoscopy before treatment. Nineteen patients (5.4%) had Lynch syndrome, and 272 patients (76.8%) had symptoms at the initial diagnosis. The rates for stages 0, I, II, III, and IV were 5.4%, 2.5%, 27.1%, 26.0%, and 35.6%, respectively. The 5-year overall survival rates at each stage were 92.3%, 60.0%, 75.9%, 61.4%, and 25.5%, respectively, and the 5-year disease-specific survival (DSS) rates were 100%, 75.0%, 84.1%, 59.3%, and 25.6%, respectively. Patients with the PSBA located in the jejunum, with symptoms at the initial diagnosis or advanced clinical stage had a worse prognosis. However, multivariate analysis using Cox-hazard model revealed that clinical stage was the only significant predictor of DSS for patients with PSBA. Conclusions Of the patients with PSBA, 76.8% had symptoms at the initial diagnosis, which were often detected at an advanced stage. Detection during the early stages of PSBA is important to ensure a good prognosis.
