Abstract

Currently, treatment of small bowel adenocarcinoma (SBA) mirrors that of colorectal cancer (CRC). Recent genomic data have demonstrated SBA to be a genetically unique entity, suggesting that therapies not traditionally utilized in CRC should be explored. In order to further characterize the activity of taxanes in this rare cancer, we completed a single-center retrospective study. Twenty patients were found to have been treated with taxane-based regimens (monotherapy in 3, combination therapy in 17). Median time to progression was 3.8 months (95% confidence interval [CI] 2.9–4.6), and median overall survival was 10.7 months (95% CI: 3.1–18.3). The results of this study demonstrate clinical activity from taxane-based therapy in advanced SBA and support further clinical trial investigation.
