#1148 Ki67 as a Prognostic Marker in Neuroendocrine Tumours: A Systematic Review of the Literature and Quantitative Synthesis of 5 year Survival Data

Introduction: The ENETS guidelines classify Gastroenteropancreatic Neuroendocrine Tumours (GEP NETs) according to the histological assessment of tumour mitotic count or Ki67 labelling index (LI) on paraffin-embedded tissue, because proliferation rate has been shown to strongly correlate with prognosis. Since the guidelines were published, Ki67 has been established as the more reproducible measure, and further large case series have been reported.
