Predictive Factors for Survival in Patients with Advanced Small Bowel Neuroendocrine Tumours Abstract #1410
Introduction: Tumour grade and hepatic metastases are negative prognostic factors for advanced small bowel neuroendocrine tumours (SBNETs), but data assessing other prognosticators at diagnosis (Dx) are lacking.
Aim(s): To assess impact on survival of combined clinical and biochemical factors at time of Dx.
Materials and methods: 572 patients with advanced SBNETs including symptoms at Dx, carcinoid heart disease (CHD), biomarkers and initial treatment were retrospectively analysed, using Cox proportional hazards models.
