Small bowel tumors in oncology practice and emergency surgery

In the structure of diseases of the small intestine, tumor lesions have a small specific weight, but in terms of their severity and unsatisfactory results of treatment they deserve special attention. We have observations of 26 patients with small intestine tumors. 14 people were admitted urgently, 12 were hospitalized for examination in connection with the assumption of an intra-abdominal tumor. There were 14 women, 12 men; the age of patients is from 17 to 68 years, of which almost half (12 people) are not older than 40 years. If we take into account that 2/3 and even more patients with malignant colon tumors are older than 40 years, then a significant difference in the contingent of these two groups of patients becomes noticeable
