OBJECTIVE: To examine the epidemiology and clinical characteristics of @entity5 . DESIGN: @entity1 with @entity5 reported between 1980 and 2000, studied retrospectively. SETTING: Data from the Connecticut Tumor Registry. @entity1 : One thousand sixty @entity5 cases: 628 @entity1 (49.84%) and 632 @entity1 (50.16%). Mean age at presentation was 65.2 years. RESULTS: The most common location of @entity5 was the ileum (374 cases; 29.7%), followed by the duodenum (320 cases; 25.4%) and the jejunum (193 cases; 15.3%). In 367 @entity1 cases (29.1%: 192 @entity1 [30.6%] and 175 @entity1 [27.7%]), a prior or subsequent @entity5 of the gastrointestinal tract was reported. The most prevalent histologic type was @entity4303 (417 cases; 33%), followed by @entity420 (341 cases; 27%) and @entity706 (205 cases; 16.3%). The @entity1 population was predominantly white (1159 @entity1 ; 92%), followed by African American @entity1 (91 @entity1 ; 7.2%). Stratification by consecutive 7-year intervals showed the following: from 1980 to 1986, there were 10.5 cases per 100 000 individuals; from 1987 to 1993, there were 13.05 cases per 100 000 individuals; and from 1994 to 2000, there were 14.86 cases per 100 000 individuals. @entity1 comprised 44.8% of cases from 1980 to 1986, 50.2% of cases from 1987 to 1993, and 53.3% of cases from 1994 to 2000. African American @entity1 accounted for 7.5% of all cases from 1980 to 1986, 5.8% from 1986 to 1993, and 8.2% of cases from 1994 to 2000. In 1106 @entity1 (87.7%), the primary therapy was surgical, including intestinal bypass, radical excision, excisional biopsy, and subtotal or total excision. CONCLUSIONS: The incidence of @entity5 in Connecticut has increased during the past 2 decades, with the highest rate of increase in @entity1 . @entity5 are the most common small intestinal cancers identified histologically, followed by @entity420 . The former seems to be more frequently seen in the ileum, the latter in the duodenum. Surgery is the treatment of choice for the cure or palliation of @entity5 .
