Clinical characteristics and surgical treatment for duodenal stromal tumor / 中华普通外科杂志

ABSTRACT

Objective To investigate the clinical characteristics,surgical treatment and outcome for patients with duodenal stromal tumor.Methods Data of 40 patients with stromal tumor of duodenum were reviewed retrospectively.Results All patients received resection including local resection in 14 cases,segmental resection of the duodenum in 17 cases,and pancreaticoduodenectomy in 9 cases.38 cases were followed-up,and two were lost.The median follow-up was 59 months (range 3-240 mos).The 1,3,and 5-year overall survival rates were 92％,76％ and 68％,respectively.No recurrence was found in very-low-risk tumor (n =1) and low-risk turmors (n =4).The 1,3,and 5-year overall survival rates for intermediate-risk tumors were 95％,80％ and 70％,respectively;and those were 69 ％,31％,and 0 for high-risk tumors,respectively.14 of 33 cases (42％) suffered from recurrence after radical resection for intermediate or high-risk tumors.33 postoperative cases received treatment with Imatinib (Glivec) for more than one year,and one case developed recurrence at 2.5 years after operation.4 patients with synchronous liver metastasis received palliative resection and Imatinib,and two survived more than 1 year.Conclusion Surgery is the first choice for duodenal stromal tumor,and Imatinib should be administered for high-risk disease after surgery.
