The article presents modern possibilities and existing problematic aspects of the choice of therapeutic and diagnostic tactics in patients with neuroendocrine tumors of the gastrointestinal tract and pancreas are presented. The asymptomatic course of neuroendocrine tumors of the gastrointestinal tract and pancreas was established in 18.5% and 24.6% of cases, respectively. Carcinoid syndrome was detected in 12.9%. The sensitivity rates of chromogranin A and neuron-specific enolase in the diagnosis of tumors were 54% and 13%, respectively. The levels of cancer-embryonic antigen in G-1/G-2 and G-3 tumors were 5 ng/ml and 8.9 ng/ml, respectively (p 0.001). A pathognomonic sign of neuroendocrine tumors of the small intestine is a mesentery tumor conglomerate, and the sensitivity rates of computed tomography and positron emission tomography with 68Ga to detect this sign were 92.3% and 92.9%, respectively (p 0.05). The computed tomographic density of neuroendocrine pancreatic tumors G-1/G-2 in the arterial phase was 112.1 40.2 HU and that of G-3 tumors was 54.0 10.4 HU (p = 0.025). Surgical treatment was performed in 259 (79.7%) patients. Postoperative complications that developed in localized and locally distributed neuroendocrine tumors of the gastrointestinal tract and of the pancreas were found in 3.5% and 8.8%, and in 58.1% and 40% of the cases, respectively, and those of generalized tumors were noted in 20%. The tumor-specific 5-year survival rates of patients with localized neuroendocrine tumors of the gastrointestinal tract and pancreas were 92.5% and 94.4%, those with locally distributed tumors had 66.8% and 77.8%, and those with generalized tumors had 51.8% and 47.1%, respectively. In patients with generalized tumors, the 5-year survival rates after cytoreduction and removal of the primary tumor were 88.2% and 64.6%, respectively (p = 0.097), and the rate after drug therapy was 28.8% (p 0.001). The prognosis of the 5-year survival of patients is determined by the degree of malignancy and tumor localization, treatment method, and patient age. In general, neuroendocrine tumors are a heterogeneous group of neoplasms that require a multidisciplinary approach to diagnosis and choice of therapeutic strategies.

Slow Growing

Neuroendocrine tumors are slow-growing neoplasms, histologically based on enteroendocrine cells. They are tumors with different degrees of differentiation, uncertain bio­logical nature and metastatic ability. Their most common localization is the gastrointestinal tract, with a special group of the neuroendocrine tumors of appendix, which are incidentally found after appendectomy. In case report, we would like to present a case of a patient with neuroendocrine tumors of appendix dia­gnosed by colonoscopy.

326 Background: NET are a group of diverse malignancies observed commonly in the gastrointestinal tract. Pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors (PanNET) have been reported to have worse outcomes as compared to neuroendocrine tumors of the gastrointestinal tract (GNET). Our objective was to compare the clinical characteristics, patterns of treatment and survival in PanNET and GNET. Methods: After IRB approval, we identified 379 patients (pts) from 1996-2011 in the Winship registry. A chart review was done. Patients were categorized in mutually exclusive groups of PanNET and GNET. Results: Demographic information and basic characteristics are listed in the table. Treatment modalities for PanNET included surgery (91%), chemotherapy (14%), biologics (sunitinib or everolimus)(6%) and somatostatin analogues (11%). Liver directed therapies were employed in 30 pts with PanNET. Most common modality was radiofrequency ablation (23 pts) followed by Yttrium-90 embolization (5 pts) and chemoembolization (2 pt).Treatment for GNET included surgery (78%), chemotherapy (11%) and somatostatin analogues (17%). Median survival for GNET (all stage) was 11.6 years and PanNET (all stage) was 10.5 years (p=0.063). Using multivariate analysis, only age at diagnosis (p<0.001 for age cohort of <55 yrs) and clinical stage (p=0.002, for local disease) were found to be significant factors. Conclusions: Pts with NET have good prognosis. In our series, both PanNET and GNET, had comparable survival outcomes even in advanced stage. [Table: see text]
