Abstract

Objective

Small bowel tumours account for only 2–5 % of gastrointestinal neoplasms but are an important source of morbidity and mortality. This article presents the features demonstrated by a wide range of small bowel tumours across different imaging modalities.

Conclusion

Early and accurate diagnosis via radiological means is an important factor in overall survival for malignant tumours and a thorough understanding of the common features is essential for all radiologists.

WHO estimates that half of all patients worldwide are non-adherent to their prescribed medication. The consequences of poor adherence can be catastrophic, on both the individual and population level.

Join our expert panel to discover why you need to understand the drivers of non-adherence in your patients, and how you can optimize medication adherence in your clinics to drastically improve patient outcomes.
