Improving Outcomes for Patients with Resectable Small Bowel NET Tumours; Five Year Experience from a Tertiary Centre

#1608

Introduction: There remains controversy about which patients benefit from removal of their primary small bowel tumour and whether this should be performed in a specialist tertiary referral hospital as an elective procedure.

Aim(s): To elucidate important institution specific data

Materials and methods: Retrospective cohort study. Patients were identified from the hospital pathology database having had their primary tumour resected between Jan2011 and Dec2015. Indications for surgery were either symptomatic primary or attempted curative resection. Patients with encased main SMA or SMV were considered unresectable.
