Abstract:
A study was conducted, in the form of a synthesis article, through a narrative review of the literature. The paper systematized and summarized a series of researches, which focused on the combined treatment of gastrointestinal NHL. According to studies, the main indications for surgical intervention are the difficulty of preoperative pathological diagnosis, the unforeseen danger of life-threatening consequences, such as hemorrhage, occlusion, perforation, and rapid tumor necrosis secondary to chemotherapy/radiotherapy. In gastrointestinal NHL, the combination of surgery and chemotherapy/radiotherapy can greatly improve survival rates. Surgical treatment has selected indications, but the value of preventive surgery cannot be underestimated.
