Prognostic Factors That Mandate Long Term Follow Up Following Surgery for Appendiceal Neuroendocrine Tumours (aNETs)

#1921

Introduction: Appendiceal neuroendocrine tumours (aNETs) are usually diagnosed incidentally at appendicectomy and rarely recur. Current ENET guidelines inform their management and highlight areas of uncertainty.

Aim(s): To identify risk factors that predict lymph node (LN) metastasis, residual disease at completion surgery, or disease recurrence, and, assess survival by ENET stage.

Materials and methods: Retrospective analysis of 93 patients diagnosed with aNETs between 1990 and 2016, using our centre’s prospective NET database. We assessed risk factors for nodal metastasis, for residual disease at completion surgery, or recurrence using logistic regression models, and, survival using Kaplan-Meier analysis.
