Digestive neuroendocrine tumours: Patterns, pathways, and progress in personalised management

#4573

Introduction: Digestive neuroendocrine tumours (NETs), though rare, are increasingly diagnosed with their incidence rising. Histopathological examination is crucial for diagnosis and grading, based on cell differentiation and proliferation index. Often diagnosed late due to non-specific symptoms, these tumours may present with hormone hypersecretion. Updated classifications now allow better risk stratification and tailored treatments. Advances in imaging, particularly PETscans with somatostatin analogues have improved NET diagnosis and monitoring.

Aim(s): This study aims to characterise digestive NETs and evaluate the impact of multidisciplinary management and advanced imaging on diagnosis and treatment.

Materials and methods: A five-year retrospective study (January 2019 - January 2024) was conducted at CHU Oran’s Surgical Clinic "A" focusing on the locations, epidemiological, endoscopic, histological features, and therapeutic management of digestive NETs.
