Although responsible for only a small proportion of UGIB episodes, tumor-associated bleeding can cause substantial blood loss — often necessitating transfusion — and presents particular treatment challenges.
Most studies of upper gastrointestinal bleeding (UGIB) have focused on peptic ulcers. Tumors are responsible for 1% to 5% of UGIB episodes and present particular treatment challenges. To provide more information on such cases, investigators retrospectively reviewed the records of consecutive patients hospitalized with UGIB at a large urban U.S. hospital between January 2005 and January 2012.
