#715 Neuroendocrine Tumors of the Rectum: Experience in Argentina

Introduction: Neuroendocrine tumors (NETs) of the rectum have been increasing in incidence. They are approximately 18% the all NETs and 27% of all gastrointestinal NETs. Rectal NETs are usually small and are often found incidentally during endoscopy. Patients (pts) with local disease have a favorable prognosis of a 5-year survival rate of 88-91%. Optimal treatment of NETs of the rectum has been widely debated.
