Abstract:
Secondary involvement of the gastrointestinal tract by malignancies is encountered frequently. It usually reflects a poor prognosis because it is often multicentric and associated with metastases in other organs. Any therapy is usually palliative. Because of this, conventional barium studies or CT is sufficient for diagnosis and can obviate further studies.
