Abstract
Enterocutaneous fistula development is not uncommon in patients with advanced cancer and can be very challenging to manage. The authors present a case study of a patient with multiple enterocutaneous fistulas that developed in the setting of metastatic colon cancer. Assessment methods and interventions that permitted successful management are discussed with emphasis on the value of multidisciplinary care.
