Surgical Management of Small Bowel Lymphoma.

Patients with small bowel lymphoma have a low five-year overall survival after surgery. Chemotherapy is associated with improved survival, although one third of patients do not receive this therapy. Several other clinical factors are identified that are also associated with overall survival, including histology subtype, margin status, age, and medical comorbidities. This information can help with prognostication and potentially aid in treatment decision-making.
