Small bowel tumors (SBT) are relatively rare, but have had a steadily increasing incidence in the last few decades. Small bowel capsule endoscopy (SBCE) and device-assisted enteroscopy are the main endoscopic techniques for the study of the small bowel, the latter additionally providing sampling and therapeutic options, and hence acting complementary to SBCE in the diagnostic work-up. Although a single diagnostic modality is often insufficient in the setting of SBTs, SBCE is a fundamental tool to drive further management towards a definitive diagnosis. The aim of this paper is to provide a concise narrative review of the role of SBCE in the diagnosis and management of SBTs.
小肠肿瘤相对罕见，但其发病率在过去几十年中呈稳步上升趋势。小肠胶囊内镜与设备辅助式小肠镜是研究小肠的主要内镜技术，后者还能提供取样和治疗选择，因此在诊断过程中与胶囊内镜形成互补。虽然单一诊断模式在小肠肿瘤的诊断中往往不够充分，但小肠胶囊内镜是推动进一步明确诊断的关键工具。本文旨在简要综述小肠胶囊内镜在小肠肿瘤诊断和治疗中的作用。
