CEA Level, Radical Surgery and CD56 Expression Are Prognostic Factors for Patients with Locoregional Gastrin-independent GNET
#1269
Introduction: Gastrin-independent gastric neuroendocrine tumors (GNETs) are highly malignant. Radical resections and lymphadenectomy are considered to be the only possible curative treatment for these tumors. However, the prognosis of gastrin-independent GNETs is not well defined.
Aim(s): In this study, we identified prognostic factors of locoregional gastrin-independent GNETs.
Materials and methods: All patients diagnosed with locoregional gastrin-independent GNETs between 2000 and 2014 were included in this retrospective study. Clinical characteristics, blood tests, pathological characteristics, treatments, and follow-up data of the patients were collected and analyzed.
