Clinical outcomes of patients with rectal neuroendocrine tumours smaller than 10mm after endoscopic resection

#4322

Introduction: Rectal neuroendocrine tumours (r-NETs) generally have a good prognosis, but up to 20% may be misdiagnosed during endoscopy, risking inadequate treatment. Prognosis factors include tumour size, grading, staging, and lymphovascular invasion, with guidelines recommending endoscopic resection for small, low-grade lesions.

Aim(s): This study aims to assess the clinical outcomes of patients with r-NETs ≤10mm following endoscopic resection.

Materials and methods: A retrospective single-centre study was conducted, including patients with r-NETs ≤10mm after endoscopic resection. The primary endpoint was progression-free survival. Statistical analysis was performed using MedCalc® software (p-value <0.05 considered significant).
