Treatment of Small Bowel Neuroendocrine Tumor (NETS): A Single Center's Experience

#385

Introduction: Neuroendocrine tumors (NETS) of the gastrointestinal tract are rare, slow-growing neoplasms. Long-term management of these tumors varies among centers.

Aim(s): To determine if long-term multidisciplinary management at a single center maximizes survival, records from NET patients were reviewed and survival rates were calculated and compared to historical controls.

Materials and methods: The charts of 401 consecutive patients with well-differentiated, small bowel NETS, treated at a collaborative clinic were reviewed. Information relating to the extent of disease and all tumor-related surgeries were collected from the patient records. Kaplan-Meier survival curves were generated, and 5-year, 10-year, and median survival rates were calculated.
