Overview
Prognosis
The overall 5-year survival rate for resectable adenocarcinoma is only 20%. The 5-year survival rate for resectable leiomyosarcoma, the most common primary sarcoma of the small intestine, is approximately 50%.
The prognosis of small intestine cancer depends on the following:
- Whether or not the tumor can be removed by surgery.
- The stage of the cancer: the size of the tumor, whether the cancer has spread outside the small intestine
- The patient’s general health
- Whether the cancer has just been diagnosed or has recurred
