Abstract
Previous studies have shown an increasing incidence of small bowel tumors in the United States. Our objective was to assess this increase by examining changes in histology-specific incidence, treatment, and survival.
Patients with small bowel malignancies were identified from the National Cancer Data Base (NCDB, 1985-2005) and the Surveillance Epidemiology and End Results (SEER, 1973-2004) database. Age-adjusted incidence rates were calculated using SEER. Treatment and survival trends over time were examined using the National Cancer Data Base. Regression models were developed to assess survival over time.
