Abstract  Malignant bowel obstruction is one of the common complications of advanced tumors. The treatment is mainly based on comprehensive medical methods. Understanding the pathophysiological mechanism (including “uncoordinated peristalsis-tissue edema-uncoordinated peristalsis” and “secretion-expansion-secretion” vicious circle), clarify the classification and subtype of obstruction and completing the systematic evaluation of oncology (including general conditions, organ function, oncology evaluation, nutritional metabolism and intestinal barrier function), are the prerequisites for its effective treatment. The principle and purpose of treatment are to minimize or even relieve the bodys tumor load, to improve or cure the adverse symptoms, signs and intestinal dysfunction caused by intestinal obstruction, to correct the state of water and electrolyte disorders and nutritional metabolism disorders, and ultimately to improve the patients quality of life and overall survival. Specific measures includes basic treatment, nutritional therapy and metabolic regulation, anti-inflammatory, reducing intestinal wall edema, inhibiting the secretion of glands in the digestive tract, repairing the intestinal barrier and preventing infection, anti-tumor etiology treatment and exercise therapy, psychological support. Anti-tumor etiological treatment is a clinical difficulty, because malignant bowel obstruction is often accompanied by malnutrition and poor general conditions, and it is difficult to tolerate conventional anti-tumor therapy. Anti-tumor therapy needs to take into account tumor factors, nutritional status and patients general conditions. Effective anti-tumor treatment is the basic guarantee for intestinal obstruction recanalization.
