Early-onset small bowel adenocarcinoma (EO-SBA) is a rare and poorly characterized entity.
This retrospective study conducted on an international multicenter cohort of 208 patients with SBA aimed at comparing clinicopathologic features of EO-SBA (age younger than 50 years at SBA diagnosis) and late-onset SBA (age 50 years or older at SBA diagnosis).
The presence of predisposing pathologic conditions was significantly more common in the EO-SBA group compared with that in the late-onset SBA group ( P = 0.003, Fisher exact test; relative risk: 1.50, 95% confidence interval: 1.20-1.86). This difference is mainly due to the significantly higher prevalence of celiac disease among patients with EO-SBA.
EO-SBA is strongly associated with predisposing conditions, particularly with celiac disease, highlighting the importance of routine screening for celiac disease in patients with EO-SBA.
早发性小肠腺癌(EO-SBA)是一种罕见且特征不明确的疾病。
本研究对 208 例 SBA 患者的国际多中心队列进行了回顾性研究,旨在比较 EO-SBA(SBA 诊断时年龄<50 岁)和晚发性 SBA(SBA 诊断时年龄≥50 岁)的临床病理特征。
与晚发性 SBA 组相比,EO-SBA 组存在易患性病理情况的比例显著更高(P=0.003,Fisher 确切检验;相对风险:1.50,95%置信区间:1.20-1.86)。这种差异主要归因于 EO-SBA 患者中乳糜泻的患病率明显更高。
EO-SBA 与易患性疾病密切相关,尤其是乳糜泻,这突出了在 EO-SBA 患者中常规筛查乳糜泻的重要性。
