A woman in Taichung experienced symptoms like vomiting, dizziness, and bloody stools, leading to drastic weight loss of about 1kg per day. After being diagnosed with a rare duodenal cancer blocking the small intestine, she underwent surgery where doctors successfully removed the tumor while preserving her stomach, pancreas, and gallbladder. The tailored surgery approach helped minimize postoperative effects, allowing the patient to recover with improved health. This case highlights the importance of early detection and individualized treatment strategies for rare gastrointestinal cancers.
