A combined approach to cytoreduction in a patient with a neuroendocrine tumor G1 the ileum with multiple bilobar metastases G2 in the liver, originally considered as a candidate only for drug therapy, has been demonstrated. The first stage was laparoscopic resection of the ileocecal segment of the intestine, followed by interventional radiological intervention — a two-stage selective transarterial oil chemoembolization of the liver with bleomycin. As a result, 90 % cytoreduction, suppression of clinical manifestations, normalization of chromogranin A and serotonin were achieved. The patient continues to be observed without signs of progression for more than 4 years from the moment of diagnosis. It is shown that multidisciplinary treatment of patient with timely inclusion of interventional-radiological interventions allows achieving long-term favorable results in patients with advanced stage of disease.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
