After six weeks of surgery, the patient’s general condition was good, and a total of six cycles of primary adjuvant chemotherapy with 5-fluorouracil (5-FU) (425 mg/m) and folic acid (20 mg/m) every four weeks was planned. After the end of the third cycle of chemotherapy, the patient visited the emergency room with epigastric pain and mild fever. The blood tests revealed 635 IU/L amylase and 559 IU/L lipase. The other laboratory results were within the normal ranges. Abdominal computed tomography (CT) revealed fluid collection at the pancreatic resection margin with diffuse mesenteric and omental infiltration in the pericolic (hepatic flexure colon, transverse colon), perigastric, and periduodenal regions (Fig. 1). There was no evidence of postoperative leakage of pancreatic juice, recurring pancreatic cancer, or gallstones. He had not taken any over-the-counter drugs and had no history of alcohol consumption or other risk factors commonly associated with pancreatitis. The diagnosis of acute pancreatitis was made without a definite etiology. During the next two weeks, he received conservative care and bowel rest with intravenous hydration. The complaint symptoms were diminished and pancreatic enzyme levels were also normalized. He was discharged from the hospital and planned to be admitted again on his next scheduled chemotherapy day. However, a recurrent pancreatitis episode occurred two days following the completion of the 5-FU infusion in the next (fourth) cycle. At that time, severe abdominal pain persisted, and the serum amylase and lipase levels had increased to 419 IU/L and 393 IU/L, respectively. A CT scan was performed and revealed that inflammatory infiltration into the mesentery and omentum had progressed more extensively than in the previous examination. Multiple large pseudocysts were observed around the pancreas (Fig. 2). However, the cause of recurrent pancreatitis was not clearly determined in the CT scan or the following magnetic resonance imaging. All the possible common causes of acute pancreatitis were excluded. Moreover, considering the relationship between the time of administration of the chemotherapeutic agents and the recurrence of pancreatitis follow-","PeriodicalId":90588,"journal":{"name":"Journal of digestive cancer reports","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42484717","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The small intestine is difficult to approach using conventional endoscopy, and early diagnosis of the small intestinal tumors is difficult. Therefore, many of the small intestinal tumors are diagnosed at an advanced stage, which makes the prognosis poor. Premalignant lesions of the small intestine or known risk factors of small bowel cancer are sporadic adenoma, adenoma associated with familial adenomatous polyposis, hamartomatous polyp associated with Peutz-Jeghers syndrome, Crohn’s disease, and celiac disease. Therefore, it is necessary to recognize that the small bowel cancer can occur in these patients with premalignant lesions or risk factors of small bowel cancer. To reduce the possibility of small bowel cancer or to detect at an earlier stage, attention should be paid to screening and surveillance of these patients with premalignant lesions or risk factors of the small bowel cancer.","PeriodicalId":90588,"journal":{"name":"Journal of digestive cancer reports","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"49386538","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Within the gastroenterology training period, competency in oncology knowledge and procedural approaches to luminal and solid gastrointestinal organ cancers is required, whereas knowledge competency but not procedural competency is required in areas of advanced endoscopic procedures for cancer care. Only general knowledge, but not competency, is required for areas such as chemotherapy, which can be obtained with further optional training in a structured 2-year oncology fellowship program.
