The medical records of 32 cats with small intestinal adenocarcinoma were reviewed. Common clinical signs included vomiting, dehydration, weight loss, cachexia, anorexia, and lethargy. In 50% of the cats, an abdominal mass was palpated, and in 38%, a mass was seen on radiographs. Biopsy of the tumor without resection was performed in 9 cats; 8 cats were euthanatized at the time of surgery, 7 because of metastases, and 1 cat died 1 day after surgery. In 23 cats, resection was performed. Eleven of these died within 2 weeks after surgery (mean survival time, 2.6 days); 8 had lymph node metastasis. Twelve cats survived greater than 2 weeks after surgery. The mean survival of 11 of these cats was 15 months. Six cats were euthanatized because of recurrent signs; 5 of the 6 had a recurrent abdominal mass. One cat was alive 2 years after surgery. Results of this study indicated that cats with adenocarcinoma, even those cats with advanced disease, can have long-term survival after surgery.
回顾了32只患有小肠腺癌猫的病历。常见临床症状包括呕吐、脱水、体重减轻、恶病质、厌食和嗜睡。50%的猫可触及腹部肿块，38%的猫在X线片上可见肿块。9只猫在未切除肿瘤的情况下进行了活检；8只猫在手术时实施了安乐死，7只因转移而安乐死，1只猫在手术后1天死亡。23只猫进行了切除手术。其中11只在术后2周内死亡（平均生存时间为2.6天）；8只存在淋巴结转移。12只猫术后存活超过2周。其中11只猫的平均生存时间为15个月。6只猫因复发症状而实施安乐死；6只中的5只存在复发性腹部肿块。1只猫术后存活2年。本研究结果表明，患有腺癌的猫，即使是患有晚期疾病的猫，术后也可实现长期存活。
