Laparoscopic Antrectomy: A Safe and Definitive Treatment in Managing Type 1 Gastric Carcinoids

#927

Introduction: Various type 1 gastric carcinoid (T1GC) treatments exist, including esophagastroduodenoscopy (EGD) observation, polypectomy, and antrectomy, but studies comparing treatment outcomes have been limited.

Aim(s): This study assessed the risk-benefit ratio for these treatments to find the most effective way to manage T1GC, reduce follow-up, and maintain the highest patient quality of life.

Materials and methods: A retrospective review of 52 T1GC patients (ages 30-88; 75% female) who presented to The Mount Sinai Medical Center between 2004-2012 and underwent one of the abovementioned procedures was conducted. Patient demographics, procedures, recurrence, and outcomes were analyzed using SPSS v20 software.
