Predictive Factors for Survival in Patients with Pancreatic Neuroendocrine Tumours

#1713

Introduction: Pancreatic neuroendocrine tumours(pNETs) comprise a heterogeneous group of neoplasms with rising incidence.However,prognosticators at diagnosis(Dx) are limited.

Aim(s): To assess impact on survival of combined clinical,radiological and biochemical factors at Dx.

Materials and methods: Data from 201 patients with pNETs including duration of presenting symptoms,hormone production,size of primary,hepatic metastases,chromogranin A(CgA),resection of primary and tumour grade at Dx(date of the first histopathological data) were retrospectively analyzed using Cox proportional hazards models.Follow-up was complete.
