Background: Small bowel neuroendocrine tumors (sbNETs) incidence is on the rise. Given that sbNETS are often multifocal with high risk of regional nodal metastasis, open resection with lymphadenectomy is the gold standard approach as it offers manual palpation of the entire small bowel. We evaluated the accuracy of preoperative DOTATATE PET/CT in estimating the number of lesions and the presence of nodal disease compared to postoperative pathology findings. We hypothesize that...

Background: Pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors (PanNETs) are a heterogeneous group of neoplasms with increasing incidence and unpredictable behavior. Whole-exome sequencing studies of metastatic PanNETs have found recurrent genomic alterations in DAXX and ATRX, which correlate with corresponding loss of protein expression. Loss of DAXX/ATRX in PanNETs is reported to be associated with several, adverse clinicopathologic features and poor patient disease-free survival (DFS). Howev...

Grade progression in gastrointestinal neuroendocrine tumors

Hill-Fung Lau Bryan , Moon Farhana , Joseph Nancy , Nakakura Eric , Khuong Le Bryan , Wang Stephanie , Zhang Li , Bergsland Emily

Background: Gastrointestinal neuroendocrine tumors (GI NETs) are subdivided into grades (G) G1-G3 based on Ki-67 proliferation index (%) (G1<3%, G2 3-20%, and G3 >20%) or mitotic rate, with tumor grade informing prognosis and treatment. Grade progression (GP) over time in GI and pancreatic NETs has recently been identified, with low(G1/2)-to-high(G3) grade progression (L-to-H) the most clinically relevant form. L-to-H is associated with worse survival, yet the timefram...

Predictors of low-to-high grade progression in pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors

Wang Stephanie J. , Moon Farhana , Joseph Nancy , Nakakura Eric , Khuong Le Bryan , Zhang Li , Bergsland Emily

Background: Pancreatic neuroendocrine neoplasms (panNENs) are heterogeneous, with grade (G) defined by Ki67 proliferation index (<3% G1, 3-20% G2, >20% G3) or mitotic rate. The G3 NEN subgroup is further divided into well differentiated neuroendocrine tumors (NETs) and poorly differentiated neuroendocrine carcinomas (NEC). Grade progression can occur over time, with low-to-high grade progression (L-to-H; G1/2 to G3) the most clinically relevant form. It is associated w...

Background: While there have been major advances in the care of neuroendocrine tumors (NETs), there is still no widely adopted therapeutic sequencing in metastatic NETs. The roles and benefits of locoregional treatments need reassessment, in order to define a modern therapeutic algorithm. We examined contemporary short-term outcomes of liver-directed therapy for metastatic NETs.Methods: We conducted a population-based retrospective cohort study of patien...

Background: The presence of a genotype-phenotype correlation in patients with MEN1 remains controversial with conflicting data from different centers. Furthermore, about 10-30% patients have genotype-negative (GN)-MEN1. Here, we evaluate the presence of genotype-phenotype correlation in our cohort of comprehensively phenotyped patients with MEN1. In addition, we compare the phenotype of GN-MEN1 and genotype-positive (GP)-MEN1 patients and investigate somatic mosaicism as a cau...

Tissue section thickness of Ki67 immunohistochemistry does not have a correlative effect on pancreatic neuroendocrine tumor grading

Ng Moreen , Sinard John , Kunstman John , Kunz Pam , Misdraji Joseph

Background: Despite the widespread use of immunohistochemistry (IHC), there are debates on how pre-analytic variables influence diagnostic results, including the effect of varying tissue section thickness. Scant literature suggests that tissue thickness can affect stain interpretation, including nuclear stains that rely on assigning tumor cells to the positive category, such as Ki-67, and raise the question of whether tissue section thickness should be standardized for some di...

Association of long-term PPI use with low-risk gastric neuroendocrine tumor

Al-Toubah MPH Taymeyah , Pelle MD Eleonora , Strosberg MD Jonathan

Background: Gastric neuroendocrine tumors are rare neoplasms, comprising approximately 2% of all gastric tumors, and develop from enterochromaffin-like (ECL) cells in the gastric mucosa. Type I and II develop due to hypergastrinemia and ECL cell hyperplasia; type III typically occur sporadically, tend to be more aggressive, present metastatically in > 50% of cases, have normal fasting gastrin levels, and vary histopathologically from well- to poorly differentiated tumors. ...

Background: Patients with neuroendocrine tumors (NETs) are at risk of carcinoid crisis when undergoing operations, which is associated with adverse post-operative outcomes. There is no contemporary guideline regarding the perioperative management of patients at risk of carcinoid crisis. Moreover, recent evidence has challenged traditional management with somatostatin analogs preparation and avoidance of beta-adrenergic medication. Therefore, specific guidance is needed to prov...

Do Pancreatic Well-differentiated Neuroendocrine Tumor (NET) Progress to Poorly-differentiated Neuroendocrine Carcinoma (NEC)?

Joseph Nancy , Umetsu Sarah , Kakar Sanjay , Wang Stephanie J. , Nakakura Eric , Paciorek Alan , Khuong Le Bryan , Moon Farhana , Bergsland Emily

Background: Grade 3 pancreatic neuroendocrine tumor (G3-PanNET) and neuroendocrine carcinoma (PanNEC) are both defined by Ki67>20% and/or mitoses >20 per 2mm2. PanNET and PanNEC are thought to be molecularly distinct entities and progression from PanNET to PanNEC is considered rare. MEN1, ATRX, DAXX, and TSC1/2 mutations are common in PanNET, while TP53, RB1, KRAS, and SMAD4 mutations are typical of PanNEC. Immunostains for ATRX/DAXX/p53/Rb aid in the classification of...
