Tumori. 2003 Mar-Apr;89(2):193-5. doi: 10.1177/030089160308900217.

Abstract

Tumors of the small intestine are rare and usually occur in association with genetic disease and chronic intestinal inflammation. We report three cases of small bowel adenocarcinoma in patients affected by celiac disease who received a safe chemotherapy regimen (FOLFOX IV or LV5FU2) after tumor resection.
