Lymph Node Involvement to Predict Survival in Pulmonary Neuroendocrine Tumors – A Single Center Experience

#843

Introduction: Typical (TC) and Atypical carcinoid (AC) tumors are well-differentiated neuroendocrine tumors of the lung.

Aim(s): This study aimed to examine lymph node (LN) status and Ki-67 scores as prognostic markers in TC and AC tumors.

Materials and methods: We retrospectively reviewed 94 patients treated at the Christie Hospital between 2005-2013. All cases were identified as either TC or AC as per WHO criteria. Median follow-up time was 21 months. The Chi-square test and cox proportional hazard regression model was used for statistical analysis.
