Can duodenal stromal tumors be cured? Is it cancer?

Duodenal stromal tumor is a kind of tumor, most of which are benign tumors, and the clinical manifestations are localized, and there is no systemic cachexia like cancer, but it does not rule out the possibility of malignant transformation. Therefore, in the strict sense, a duodenal stromal tumor that has not become malignant is not cancer.

Stromal tumors are all malignant tumors, but there is a difference between high and low grade, and according to what you said, they should be highly malignant.

The specific drug for this disease is Gleevec, but it is very expensive, about 25,500 a bottle.

Duodenal tumors are divided into two categories: benign tumors and malignant tumors, benign tumors are more common than adenoma and leiomyomas, and malignant tumors are more common than adenocarcinoma and lymphoma. The clinical manifestations of duodenal tumors are mainly as follows: 1. Abdominal pain, which is the most common, mainly dull pain, swelling pain and even severe colic; 2. Intestinal bleeding, intermittent tarry and bloody stools; 3. Intestinal obstruction, intussusception is the main cause; 4. Intra-abdominal mass, the position is not fixed, and the activity is not large; 5. Intestinal perforation, which is more common in malignant tumors.

The diagnosis of duodenal tumor mainly relies on X-ray barium swallow examination and fiber duodenoscopy, whether it is a benign tumor or a malignant tumor, surgical resection is the main method, and chemotherapy, radiotherapy and other postoperative programs can be selected according to the pathological results after surgery.

If you are diagnosed with duodenal tumor, you need to consider the method according to the size of the tumor and the location of the growth. If the tumor is not more than 2 cm in diameter, it can be performed by endoscopic minimally invasive surgery**; If the patient's tumor is relatively large and has already developed obstructive symptoms, it is not suitable for surgery and needs to be implanted with a stent**. If the tumor is large and deeply infiltrated, it is necessary to surgically connect part of the duodenum, common bile duct or gallbladder, and then connect the intestine to the pancreas or stomach to improve the patient's condition.

If the tumor develops to an advanced malignancy, it can only be conserved with drugs**, so that the patient's life cycle is prolonged.

Analysis: Hello: If the tumor is local** and the lesion is isolated, you can be given radiation**, or surgery** plus postoperative radiotherapy.

Such a ** is also applicable to a single isolated metastatic lesion in the distal anterior silver suspicion metastasis. Because distant metastasis is hematogenous metastasis, it should be given to the whole body** to eliminate the cancer cells hidden in the blood vessels; If the tumor is metastasized, and it is multiple metastases, local radiotherapy and systemic smart hand therapy can only play a palliative role.

Guidance: You can go to the hospital for a review. If it is, it is generally not appropriate to do radiology in the near future**. Benign ones are also not effective against chemotherapy drugs, and surgery may be considered**.
