Characteristics of Patients with Well-differentiated Metastatic Lung Neuroendocrine Tumors

#282

Introduction: Characteristics of well-differentiated lung neuroendocrine tumors (WDLNET) are poorly characterized at the metastatic stage.

Aim(s): Characterization of patients with WDLNET at the moment of metastatis stage.

Materials and methods: Consecutive patients evaluated in a single hospital between 2000 and 2010 with confirmed metastatic WD lung NET were reviewed and the following parameters recorded: clinical presentation, biological markers, pathology, MEN-1 status, SRS (Somatostatin Receptor Scintigraphy) uptake, treatment (including somatostatin (SMS) therapy) and tumor location.
