title: [Strategy and results of advanced tumors in emergency situations].
abstract: In this retrospective trial we examined 142 patients with advanced unresectable cancer, who had bowel obstruction, bleeding, bowel lesion and abscesses and who were treated with different surgical procedures (resection, bypass, enterostomy). Mean survival rate was 8.6 months (range: 0-57 months). The mortality rate reached 21.7%. Surgical reintervention was necessary in 15.8% because of bowel obstruction and did not influence the survival rate. Despite advanced tumor disease and intestinal obstruction most patients had a good quality of life after surgical intervention.
