Predicting Resectability of Primary Tumor and Mesenteric Lumps in Patients with Small Intestine Neuroendocrine Tumors

#2288

Introduction: Vascular infiltration and mesenteric fibrosis may jeopardize resection of primary tumor (PT) and mesenteric metastatic lumps (MLs) in small-intestine neuroendocrine tumors (SI-NETs).

Aim(s): To individuate factors associated with higher likelihood to receive PT and MLs radical surgery.

Materials and methods: After computed tomography (CT) scan, 3 radiological parameters were considered: 1) degree of arterial involvement according to Lardière-Deguelte (L-D) classification 2) degree of mesenteric venous involvement (MVI) as either absent, peripheral or proximal 3) presence or not of mesenteric fibrosis retraction (MF). Pre-surgical parameters were matched to surgical outcome.
