THE DIFFICULTIES OF DIAGNOSIS AND CHOICE OF TREATMENT TACTICS OF NEUROENDOCRINE TUMORS OF THE SMALL INTESTINE

Abstract

The paper presents the clinical case that reflects the difficulties of diagnosis and choice of treatment tactics of patients with neuroendocrine tumors of the small intestine. The sequence of instrumental diagnostic methods made it possible to determine the localization of the tumor in small intestine and to clarify the prevalence of the tumor process. The implementation of active surgical treatment tactics allowed performing cytoreductive surgical intervention, eliminating the risk of complications of the tumor process and improving the quality of life of the patient with generalized neuroendocrine tumor of the small intestine.
