- Most Jejunal tumors, except Lymphoma, are treated by surgical resection of the tumor. Surgery is the curative option for Jejunal adenocarcinoma, GIST and neuroendocrine tumors. Patients may additionally require chemotherapy and targeted therapy based on the type and stage of the tumor.
- Open or Laparoscopic resection of Jejunal tumors – This involves the resection of the involved part of the Jejunum along with the adjacent group of lymph nodes.
- Laparoscopic Jejunal resection can be done in selective patients with early and localized tumors. It offers the advantage of a minimally invasive approach, less pain and early recovery.
- Surgery for Palliative care-In certain cases of advanced tumor, the lesion cannot be surgically resected, and in such cases, surgery is done to relieve symptoms like persistent vomiting or bowel obstruction. The aim of palliative procedures is to relieve the symptoms and improve the quality of life. These procedures may not completely remove the tumor or cure the patient.
- Endoscopic Stenting – In certain advanced cases of Jejunal cancer, the tumor infiltrates the adjacent bowel and causes bowel obstruction. In such cases, endoscopic stenting can be done to help relieve the symptoms of bowel obstruction.
- Bypass –In a few cases, a bypass procedure may also be offered to relieve the symptoms of bowel obstruction.
