Finding the outcomes of NEN managed by high dose radiations in Pakistan

#3370

Introduction: Considering the oncologic control for aggressive neuroendocrine neoplasm, external beam radiation therapy provides a non-invasive method to safely deliver local therapy to nearly any location in the body.

Aim(s): We aim to find tumor outcomes after the use of high-dose radiation in management of NENs in Pakistan.

Materials and methods: Baseline measurements of 230 patients were taken from the most immediate pre-radiation scan. The disease status after radiation was evaluated using Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) criteria when possible. Patient’s disease status was categorized on differentiation as well (WD) or poorly differentiated (PD). While on stage they were grouped as localized or locally advanced disease (L) and metastatic disease (M).
