| Core Tip |
Small bowel tumors (SBTs) are a heterogeneous group of difficult-to-diagnose tumors, accounting for 2%-5% of all gastrointestinal tumors. This study aimed to investigate the clinical characteristics and prognosis of SBTs detected using single-balloon enteroscopy. The most common tumor location was the ileum (41.2%). The top three malignant tumor types were gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GISTs), adenocarcinomas, and lymphomas. Moreover, the proportions of benign and malignant tumors were 27.5% and 72.5%, respectively. The survival rates of patients with malignant tumors in the GIST and non-GIST groups differed significantly. Therefore, a large-scale nationwide study is warranted to evaluate the population-based epidemiology of SBTs. |
