Between 1980 and 1992, 68 @entity1 with clinical indications of involvement of the gastrointestinal (GI) tract with metastatic @entity320 were treated at Roswell Park @entity5 Institute. Presenting symptoms were @entity417 , @entity490 , @entity390 and @entity391 . Sites commonly involved were the small bowel (75%), the large intestine (25%), and the stomach (16%). Twenty-one @entity1 were considered unsuitable for surgery; their median survival after diagnosis of GI @entity3 was 2.9 months. Forty-seven @entity1 underwent abdominal surgery; effective palliation was achieved in most of them. Complete resection of GI @entity3 was accomplished in 47% of @entity1 . The median survival after operation was 27.6 months for @entity1 with complete resection of GI @entity3 and no other disease, 5.1 months for @entity1 with resection of involved GI tract and other @entity3 present, and 1.9 months for @entity1 who had a by-pass procedure only. The 5-year survival for @entity1 with complete resection of GI @entity3 and no other evidence of disease was 28.3%. The other groups had only 1-year survivors. Surgical intervention is justified on the basis of these findings, and extended palliation can be achieved in @entity1 with complete resection of metastatic disease.
