There is significant perioperative risk associated with cats with small intestine adenocarcinoma with a high mortality rate within the first two weeks following surgery. However, after these two weeks long term control may be achieved. For cats with large intestinal adenocarcinoma survival time after surgery alone has been reported as approximately 4.5 months, and survival of over one year has been reported in small intestinal cases.

In order to track the progress of disease, it is recommended that animals undergo a full clinicals examination, thoracic radiography and abdominal ultrasound at 1, 3, 6, 9 and 12 months post-surgery.
