Core Tip
Core Tip: This study investigated 80 patients diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease and revealed that approximately 20% of them had coexisting gastrointestinal tumors. Common symptoms included constipation and urgent bowel movements. The presence of tumors was significantly associated with factors such as sex, disease duration, gastrointestinal function scores, and elevated levels of multiple tumor markers, offering insight into early identification of high-risk patients.
