RESUMO

BACKGROUND: The effect of preoperative anemia on clinical outcomes of patients undergoing resection of gastroenteropancreatic neuroendocrine tumors (GEP-NETs) has not been previously investigated. This study aimed to characterize how preoperative anemia affected short- and long-term outcomes of patients undergoing curative-intent resection of GEP-NETs. METHODS: Patients who underwent curative-intent resection for GEP-NETs between January 1990 and December 2020 were identified from 8 major institutions. The last preoperative hemoglobin level was recorded; anemia was defined as <13.5 g/dL in males or <12.0 g/dL in females based on the guides of the American Society of Hematology. The effect of anemia on postoperative outcomes was assessed on uni- and multivariate analyses. RESULTS: Among 1559 patients, the median age was 58 years (IQR, 48-66), and roughly one-half of the cohort was male (796 [51.1%]). Most patients had a pancreatic tumor (1040 [66.7%]), followed by small bowel (259 [16.6%]), duodenum (103 [6.6%]), stomach (66 [4.2%]), appendix (53 [3.4%]), and other locations (38 [2.6%]). The median preoperative hemoglobin level was 13.4 g/dL (IQR, 12.2-14.5). Overall, 101 (6.7%) and 119 (8.5%) patients received an intra- or postoperative packed red blood cell (pRBC) transfusion, respectively. A total of 972 patients (44.5%) experienced a postoperative complication. Although the overall incidence of complications was no different among patients who did (anemic: 48.7%) vs patients who did not (nonanemic: 47.3%) have anemia (P = .597), patients with preoperative anemia were more likely to develop a major (Clavien-Dindo grade ≥IIIa: 48.9% [anemic] vs 38.0% [nonanemic]; P = .006) and multiple (≥3 types of complications: 32.2% [anemic] vs 19.7% [anemic]; P < .001) complications. Of note, 1-, 3-, and 5-year overall survival (OS) rates were 96.7%, 90.5%, and 86.6%, respectively. On multivariable analysis, anemia (hazard ratio, 2.0; 95% CI, 1.2-3.2; P = .006) remained associated with worse OS; postoperative pRBC transfusion was associated with an OS (5-year OS: 75.0% vs 87.7%; P = .017) and recurrence-free survival (RFS; 5-year RFS: 66.9% vs 76.5%; P = .047). CONCLUSION: Preoperative anemia was commonly identified in roughly 1 in 3 patients who underwent curative-intent resection for GEP-NETs. Preoperative anemia was strongly associated with a higher risk of postoperative morbidity and worse long-term outcomes.

RESUMO

INTRODUCTION: To investigate the impact of prognostic nutritional index (PNI) on short- and long-term outcomes of patients who underwent curative-intent resection for gastro-entero-pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors (GEP-NETs). METHODS: Patients with GET-NETs who underwent curative-intent resection were identified from a multi-center database. The prognostic impact of clinicopathological factors including PNI on post-operative outcomes were evaluated. A novel nomogram was developed and externally validated. RESULTS: A total of 2,099 patients with GEP-NETs were included in the training cohort; 255 patients were in the external validation cohort. Median PNI (n = 973) was 47.4 (IQR 43.1-52.4). At the time of presentation, 1,299 (61.9%) patients presented with some type of clinical symptom. Low-PNI (≤42.2) was associated with gastrointestinal symptoms, as well as nodal metastasis and distant metastasis (all p < 0.05). Patients with a low PNI had a higher incidence of severe (≥Clavien-Dindo grade IIIa: low PNI 24.9% vs. high PNI 15.4%, p = 0.001) and multiple (≥3 types of complications: low PNI 14.5% vs. high PNI 9.2%, p = 0.024) complications, as well as a worse overall survival (OS)(5-year OS, low PNI 73.7% vs. high PNI 88.5%, p < 0.001), and RFS (5-year RFS, low PNI 68.5% vs. high PNI 79.8%, p = 0.008) versus patients with high PNI (>42.2). A nomogram based on PNI, tumor grade and metastatic disease demonstrated excellent discrimination and calibration to predict OS in both the training (C-index 0.748) and two external validation (C-index 0.827, 0.745) cohorts. CONCLUSIONS: Low PNI was common and associated with worse short- and long-term outcomes among patients with GEP-NETs.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: While surgery is generally necessary for most solid-organ cancers, curative-intent resection is occasionally aborted due to unanticipated unresectability or occult metastases. Following aborted cancer surgery (ACS), patients have unique and complex care needs and yet little is known about the optimal approach to their management. OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study was to define the practice patterns and perspectives of an international cohort of cancer surgeons on the management of ACS. METHODS: A validated survey assessing surgeon perspectives on patient care needs and management following ACS was developed. The survey was distributed electronically to members of the Society of Surgical Oncology (SSO). RESULTS: Among 190 participating surgeons, mean age was 49 ± 11 years, 69% were male, 61% worked at an academic institution, and most had a clinical practice focused on liver/pancreas (30%), breast (23%), or melanoma/sarcoma cancers (20%). Participants estimated that ACS occurred in 7 ± 6% of their cancer operations, most often due to occult metastases (67%) or local unresectability (30%). Most surgeons felt (very) comfortable addressing their patients' surgical needs (92%) and cancer treatment-related questions (90%), but fewer expressed comfort addressing psychosocial needs (83%) or symptom-control needs (69%). While they perceived discussing next available therapies as the patients' most important priority after ACS, surgeons reported avoiding postoperative complications as their most important priority (p < 0.001). While 61% and 27% reported utilizing palliative care and psychosocial oncology, respectively, in these situations, 46% noted care coordination as a barrier to addressing patient care needs. CONCLUSIONS: Results from this SSO member survey suggest that ACS is relatively common and associated with unique patient care needs. Surgeons may feel less comfortable assessing psychosocial and symptom-control needs, highlighting the need for novel patient-centered approaches.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Surgical resection is a necessary component of curative-intent treatment for most solid-organ cancers but is occasionally aborted, most often due to occult metastatic disease or unanticipated unresectability. Despite its frequency, little research has been performed on the experiences, care needs, and treatment preferences of patients who experience an aborted cancer surgery. METHODS: Semistructured interviews of patients who had previously experienced an aborted cancer surgery were conducted, focusing on their recalled experiences and stated preferences. All interviews were audio recorded, transcribed, and coded by two independent researchers by using NVivo 12. An integrative approach to qualitative analysis was used-both inductive and deductive methods-and iteratively identifying themes until saturation was reached. RESULTS: Fifteen patients with an aborted cancer surgery participated in the interviews. Cancer types included pancreatic (n = 9), cholangiocarcinoma (n = 3), hepatocellular carcinoma (n = 1), gallbladder (n = 1), and neuroendocrine (n = 1). The most common reasons for aborting surgery included local tumor unresectability (n = 8) and occult metastatic disease (n = 7). Five subthemes that characterized the patient experience following an aborted cancer surgery emerged, including physical symptoms, emotional responses, impact on social and life factors, coping mechanisms, and support received. CONCLUSIONS: This qualitative study characterizes the impact of aborted cancer surgery on multiple domains of quality of life: physical, emotional, social, and existential. These results highlight the importance of developing patient-centered interventions that focus on enhancing quality of life after aborted cancer surgery.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Surgical resection is typically necessary for curative-intent treatment of most solid organ cancers. However, even with meticulous preoperative evaluation, operative procedures are occasionally aborted. The incidence, outcomes, and long-term prognoses of aborted cancer surgery have not been thoroughly investigated. METHODS: All oncologic operations performed at a single tertiary cancer center between 2011-2021 were retrospectively queried; natural language processing of operative reports was used to identify aborted cancer surgeries. Surgical indications, clinicopathologic characteristics, short- and long-term outcomes, and palliative care involvement were retrospectively reviewed from the electronic medical record. RESULTS: Overall, 345 patients underwent aborted cancer surgery for a rate of 36 patients per year. The most common cancers were pancreatic (28%), biliary (14%), and colorectal (9%). The most commonly aborted operations were pancreatoduodenectomy (34%) and hepatectomy (22%). Most operations were aborted due to unanticipated tumor unresectability (47%) and occult metastatic disease (43%). Sixty percent of patients returned to cancer-directed therapy; 9% underwent successful reattempt at resection. The median overall survival of all patients after aborted surgery was 13.6 months (95% confidence interval, 11.2-16.0 months). Those who returned to oncologic therapy had longer survival (18.6 months vs 5.4 months, P < .001). Palliative care consultation was received by 34% and 13% of patients overall and within 30 days of surgery, respectively. CONCLUSION: Aborted cancer surgery was associated with poor outcomes, particularly in patients with aggressive cancer types and those who did not receive further cancer-directed therapy. Future studies should identify interventions such as palliative care consultation that may improve patient-centered outcomes.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Radiographic calcifications and cystic morphology are associated with higher and lower tumor grade, respectively, in pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors (PNETs). Whether calcifications and/or cystic morphology could be used preoperatively to predict post-resection survival in patients with PNETs remains elusive. METHODS: Patients undergoing curative-intent resection of well-differentiated PNETs from 2000 to 2017 at eight academic institutions participating in the US Neuroendocrine Tumor Study Group were identified. Preoperative cross-sectional imaging reports were reviewed to identify the presence of calcifications and of a cystic component occupying >50% of the total tumor area. Clinicopathologic characteristics and recurrence-free survival (RFS) were compared. RESULTS: Of 981 patients studied, 18% had calcifications and 17% had cystic tumors. Tumors with calcifications were more commonly associated with Ki-67 ≥3% (47% vs. 33%; p = 0.029), lymph node metastasis (36% vs. 24%; p = 0.011), and distant metastasis (13% vs. 4%; p < 0.001). In contrast, cystic tumors were less commonly associated with lymph node metastasis (12% vs. 30%; p < 0.001). Five-year RFS after resection was most favorable for cystic tumors without calcifications (91%), intermediate for solid tumors without calcifications (77%), and least favorable for any calcified PNET (solid 69%, cystic 67%; p = 0.043). Calcifications remained an independent predictor of RFS on multivariable analysis (p = 0.043) controlling for nodal (p < 0.001) and distant metastasis (p = 0.001). CONCLUSIONS: Easily detectable radiographic features, such as calcifications and cystic morphology, can be used preoperatively to stratify prognosis in patients with PNETs and possibly inform the decision to operate or not, as well as guide the extent of resection and potential use of neoadjuvant therapy.

RESUMO

In this review, the risk factors of an unplanned excision of soft-tissue sarcoma and the implications of non-oncologic resection are discussed. Although soft-tissue sarcoma remains a rare disease, many studies have shown the deleterious effects of unplanned excision, including decreased recurrence-free survival and increased morbidity. Once discovered, sarcomas should be referred to expert centers for further management, which often entails re-excision, radiation, and/or chemotherapy treatment. Although much still needs to be learned about this complex disease, a multidisciplinary approach including surgeons, medical oncologists, radiologists, and pathologists is paramount to its successful treatment.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: To define surgical outcomes of patients with high-grade gastro-entero-pancreatic neuroendocrine neoplasm grade G3 (GEP-NEN G3). METHODS: Patients who underwent surgical resection between 2000 and 2016 were identified. The overall survival (OS) and recurrence-free survival (RFS) of patients with gastro-entero-pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors grade G3 (GEP-NET G3) versus neuroendocrine carcinoma (NEC) were evaluated. RESULTS: Fifty-one out of 2182 (2.3%) patients who underwent surgical resection were diagnosed as GEP-NEN G3. The pancreas was the most common primary site (n = 3772.5%). A majority of patients had lymph node metastasis (n = 3262.7%); one in three (n = 1631.4%) had distant metastasis. The median OS and RFS of the entire cohort were 56.4 and 34.5 months, respectively. Perineural invasion was a strong prognostic factor associate with OS after surgical resection. Patients with NEC had a worse survival outcome versus patients with NET G3 (median OS: 33.1 months vs. not attained, p = 0.088). In contrast, among patients who underwent curative-intent resection, patients with NEC had comparable RFS versus patients with NET G3 (median RFS: 35.6 vs. 33.9 months, p = 0.774). CONCLUSIONS: Surgical resection provided acceptable short- and long-outcomes for well-selected patients with resectable GEP-NEN G3. NEC was associated with a worse OS versus NET G3.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Pancreatic neuroendocrine tumor (PNET) survival outcomes differ by race. Current recommendations for surveillance of PNETs less than 2 cm in size are based on low malignant potential and low rates of lymph node metastases (LNM). We investigated whether these guidelines are universally applicable regardless of race. STUDY DESIGN: A multi-institutional analysis of patients with resected, nonfunctional, sporadic PNETs was performed initially using the US Neuroendocrine Study Group dataset with the National Cancer Database as a validation dataset. Patients with distant metastatic disease were excluded from analysis. RESULTS: A total of 453 (388 White and 65 Black) and 5,532 patients (4,772 White and 760 Black) were analyzed in the initial and validation datasets, respectively. White patients had a low incidence of LNM in tumors of less than 2 cm in both datasets (5% and 12%, respectively), which increased with tumor size. However, the incidence of LNM in Black patients was similar in the initial and validation datasets for tumors sized less than 2 cm (23% and 21%) and 2 to 3 cm (21% and 29%). Black patients had a significantly higher incidence of LNM in tumors less than 2 cm in size in the initial and validation datasets (p < 0.01) compared with White patients. CONCLUSIONS: The current recommendation for surveillance of PNETs of less than 2 cm in size is likely based on a low rate of LNM seen in a predominantly White population. The incidence of LNM in Black patients with tumors less than 2 cm in size is clinically relevant and concerning. Current guidelines may not be universally applicable, and a more aggressive approach to resection in Black patients with small PNETs may be warranted.

RESUMO

Liposarcoma (LPS) is the most prevalent soft tissue sarcoma histological subtype. When it occurs in the abdomen the overall survival rate is as low as 10% at 10 years and is fraught with high rates of recurrence, particularly for the more aggressive dedifferentiated subtype. Surgery remains the mainstay of treatment. Systemic therapies for the treatment of metastatic or unresectable disease have low response rates. Deep understanding of well-differentiated and de-differentiated LPS (WDLPS and DDLPS, respectively) oncologic drivers is necessary for the development of new efficacious targeted therapies for the management of this disease. This review discusses the current treatments under evaluation for retroperitoneal DDLPS and the potential targetable pathways in DDLPS.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Simple ileocecectomy and right hemicolectomy are two potential operative approaches to treat patients with neuroendocrine neoplasm in the terminal ileum and/or cecum (IC-NENs). We sought to define the long-term outcome of patients undergoing ileocecectomy versus right hemicolectomy for IC-NENs, as well as characterize number of nodes evaluated and lymph node metastasis (LNM) associated with each procedure. METHODS: Patients who underwent curative-intent resections for IC-NENs between 2000 and 2016 were identified from a multi-institutional database. The clinicopathologic characteristics, surgical procedures, and the overall (OS) and recurrence-free survival (RFS) were compared among patients who underwent formal right hemicolectomy versus ileocecectomy only. RESULTS: Among 127 patients with IC-NENs, median size of the largest tumor size was 2.0 (IQR 1.2-2.9) cm; 35 (27.6%) patients had multiple lesions. At the time of surgery, 93 (73.2%) patients underwent a right hemicolectomy, whereas 34 (26.8%) had ileocecectomy only. Every patient had a lymph node dissection (LND) with a median number of 16 (IQR 12-22) nodes evaluated. A majority (n = 110, 86.6%) of patients had LNM with a median number of 3 (IQR 2-5) LNM. Patients who underwent hemicolectomy had more lymph nodes evaluated versus patients who had an ileocecectomy only (median, 18 vs. 14, p = 0.004). Patients who underwent formal right hemicolectomy versus ileocecectomy had a similar OS (median OS, 101.9 vs. 144.5 months, p = 0.44) and RFS (median RFS, 70.3 vs. not attained, p = 0.80), respectively. CONCLUSIONS: Ileocecectomy had similar long-term outcomes versus right hemicolectomy in treatment of IC-NENs despite a difference in the lymph node harvest.

RESUMO

OBJECTIVE: To improve the prognostic accuracy of the eighth edition of AJCC staging system for pNETs with establishment and validation of a new staging system. BACKGROUND: Validation of the updated eighth AJCC staging system for pNETs has been limited and controversial. METHODS: Data from the SEER registry (1975-2016) (n = 3303) and a multi-institutional database (2000-2016) (n = 825) was used as development and validation cohorts, respectively. A mTNM was proposed by maintaining the eighth AJCC T and M definitions, and the recently proposed N status as N0 (no LNM), N1 (1-3 LNM), and N2 (≥4 LNM), but adopting a new stage classification. RESULTS: The eighth TNM staging system failed to stratify patients with stage I versus IIA, stage IIB versus IIIA, and overall stage I versus II relative to long-term OS in both database. There was a monotonic decrement in survival based on the proposed mTNM staging classification among patients derived from both the SEER (5-year OS, stage I 87.0% vs stage II 80.3% vs stage III 72.9% vs stage IV 57.2%, all P < 0.001), and multi-institutional (5-year OS, stage I 97.6% vs stage II 82.7% vs stage III 78.4% vs stage IV 50.0%, all P < 0.05) datasets. On multivariable analysis, mTNM staging remained strongly associated with prognosis, as the hazard of death incrementally increased with each stage among patients in the 2 cohorts. CONCLUSION: A mTNM pNETs clinical staging system using N0, N1, N2 nodal categories was better at stratifying patients relative to long-term OS than the eighth AJCC staging.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Identifying patients at risk for early recurrence (ER) following resection for pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors (pNETs) might help to tailor adjuvant therapies and surveillance intensity in the post-operative setting. METHODS: Patients undergoing surgical resection for pNETs between 1998-2018 were identified using a multi-institutional database. Using a minimum p-value approach, optimal cut-off value of recurrence-free survival (RFS) was determined based on the difference in post-recurrence survival (PRS). Risk factors for early recurrence were identified. RESULTS: Among 807 patients who underwent curative-intent resection for pNETs, the optimal length of RFS to define ER was identified at 18 months (lowest p-value of 0.019). Median RFS was 11.0 months (95% 8.5-12.60) among ER patients (n = 49) versus 41.0 months (95% CI: 35.0-45.9) among non-ER patients (n = 77). Median PRS was worse among ER patients compared with non-ER patients (42.6 months vs. 81.5 months, p = 0.04). On multivariable analysis, tumor size (OR: 1.20, 95% CI: 1.05-1.37, p = 0.007) and positive lymph nodes (OR: 4.69, 95% CI: 1.41-15.58, p = 0.01) were independently associated with ER. CONCLUSION: An evidence-based cut-off value for ER after surgery for pNET was defined at 18 months. These data emphasized the importance of close follow-up in the first two years after surgery.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Patients can experience recurrence following curative-intent resection of non-functional pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors (NF-pNETs). We sought to develop a nomogram to risk stratify patients relative to recurrence following resection of NF-pNETs. METHODS: Patients who underwent curative-intent resection for NF-pNETs between 1997 and 2016 were identified from a multi-institutional database. The impact of clinicopathologic factors, including tumor burden score (TBS) (TBS2 = (maximum tumor diameter)2 + (number of tumors)2), was assessed relative to recurrence-free survival (RFS), and a nomogram was developed and internally validated. RESULTS: With a median follow-up of 31.0 months (IQR 11.3-56.6 months), 66 (15.8%) out of 416 patients in the cohort experienced tumor recurrence. Overall, 3-, 5-, and 10-year RFS following curative-intent resection was 83.2%, 74.0%, and 44.7%, respectively. Several factors were associated with risk of recurrence including tumor grade (referent G1: G2, HR 4.07, 95% CI 2.29-7.26, p < 0.001; G3, HR 10.83, 95% CI 3.72-31.53, p < 0.001), lymph node metastasis (LNM) (HR 4.71, 95% CI 2.69-8.26, p < 0.001), as well as TBS (referent low: medium, HR 4.36, 95% CI 2.06-9.24, p < 0.001; high, HR 6.04, 95% CI 2.96-12.31, p < 0.001). A weighted nomogram including tumor grade (G1 0, G2 54.19, G3 100), LNM (N0 0, N1 42.06), and TBS (low 0, medium 44.07, high 56.48) was developed. The discriminatory power of the nomogram was very good with a C-index of 0.75 (95% CI, 0.66-0.79) in the training cohort and 0.71 (95% CI, 0.65-0.75) in the validation cohort. In addition, the nomogram performed better than the current 8th edition of AJCC TNM staging system, which had a C-index of 0.67 (95% CI, 0.60-0.73). CONCLUSIONS: A nomogram that incorporated tumor grade, LNM, and TBS was established that had good discrimination and calibration. The nomogram may be an effective tool to stratify patients relative to recurrence risk following resection of NF-pNETs.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: The adoption of spleen-preserving distal pancreatectomy (SPDP) for malignant disease such as pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors (pNETs) has been controversial. The objective of the current study was to assess the impact of SPDP on outcomes of patients with pNETs. METHODS: Patients undergoing a distal pancreatectomy for pNET between 2002 and 2016 were identified in the US Neuroendocrine Tumor Study Group database. Propensity score matching (PSM) was used to compare short- and long-term outcomes of patients undergoing SPDP versus distal pancreatectomy with splenectomy (DPS). RESULTS: Among 621 patients, 103 patients (16.6%) underwent an SPDP. Patients who underwent SPDP were more likely to have lower BMI (median, 27.5 [IQR 24.0-31.2] vs. 28.7 [IQR 25.7-33.6]; p = 0.005) and have undergone minimally invasive surgery (n = 56, 54.4% vs. n = 185, 35.7%; p < 0.001). After PSM, while the median total number of lymph nodes examined among patients who underwent an SPDP was lower compared with DPS (3 [IQR 1-8] vs. 9 [5-13]; p < 0.001), 5-year overall survival (OS) and recurrence-free survival (RFS) were comparable (OS: 96.8 vs. 92.0%, log-rank p = 0.21, RFS: 91.1 vs. 84.7%, log-rank p = 0.93). In addition, patients undergoing SPDP had less intraoperative blood loss (median, 100 mL [IQR 10-250] vs. 150 mL [IQR 100-400]; p = 0.001), lower incidence of serious complications (n = 13, 12.8% vs. n = 28, 27.5%; p = 0.014), and shorter length of stay (median: 5 days [IQR 4-7] vs. 6 days [IQR 5-13]; p = 0.049) compared with patients undergoing DPS. CONCLUSION: SPDP for pNET was associated with acceptable perioperative and long-term outcomes that were comparable to DPS. SPDP should be considered for patients with pNET.

RESUMO

OBJECTIVE: To determine the prognostic role of metastatic lymph node (LN) number and the minimal number of LNs for optimal staging of patients with pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors (pNETs). BACKGROUND: Prognosis relative to number of LN metastasis (LNM), and minimal number of LNs needed to evaluate for accurate staging, have been poorly defined for pNETs. METHODS: Number of LNM and total number of LN evaluated (TNLE) were assessed relative to recurrence-free survival (RFS) and overall survival (OS) in a multi-institutional database. External validation was performed using Surveillance, Epidemiology and End Results (SEER) registry. RESULTS: Among 854 patients who underwent resection, 233 (27.3%) had at least 1 LNM. Patients with 1, 2, or 3 LNM had a comparable worse RFS versus patients with no nodal metastasis (5-year RFS, 1 LNM 65.6%, 2 LNM 68.2%, 3 LNM 63.2% vs 0 LNM 82.6%; all P < 0.001). In contrast, patients with ≥4 LNM (proposed N2) had a worse RFS versus patients who either had 1 to 3 LNM (proposed N1) or node-negative disease (5-year RFS, ≥4 LNM 43.5% vs 1-3 LNM 66.3%, 0 LNM 82.6%; all P < 0.05) [C-statistics area under the curve (AUC) 0.650]. TNLE ≥8 had the highest discriminatory power relative to RFS (AUC 0.713) and OS (AUC 0.726) among patients who had 1 to 3 LNM, and patients who had ≥4 LNM in the multi-institutional and SEER database (n = 2764). CONCLUSIONS: Regional lymphadenectomy of at least 8 lymph nodes was necessary to stage patients accurately. The proposed nodal staging of N0, N1, and N2 optimally staged patients.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Pancreatoduodenectomy (PD) or distal pancreatectomy (DP) are common procedures for patients with a pancreatic neuroendocrine tumor (pNET). Nevertheless, certain patients may benefit from a pancreas-preserving resection such as enucleation (EN). The aim of this study was to define the indications and differences in long-term outcomes among patients undergoing EN and PD/DP. METHODS: Patients undergoing resection of a pNET between 1992 and 2016 were identified. Indications and outcomes were evaluated, and propensity score matching (PSM) analysis was performed to compare long-term outcomes between patients who underwent EN versus PD/DP. RESULTS: Among 1034 patients, 143 (13.8%) underwent EN, 304 (29.4%) PD, and 587 (56.8%) DP. Indications for EN were small size (1.5 cm, IQR:1.0-1.9), functional tumors (58.0%) that were mainly insulinomas (51.7%). After PSM (n = 109 per group), incidence of postoperative pancreatic fistula (POPF) grade B/C was higher after EN (24.5%) compared with PD/DP (14.0%) (p = 0.049). Median recurrence-free survival (RFS) was comparable among patients who underwent EN (47 months, 95% CI:23-71) versus PD/DP (37 months, 95% CI: 33-47, p = 0.480). CONCLUSION: Comparable long-term outcomes were noted among patients who underwent EN versus PD/DP for pNET. The incidence of clinically significant POPF was higher after EN.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Heat shock protein (HSP)-90 promotes tumor growth and is overexpressed in many malignancies. HSP90 expression profile and its potential as a therapeutic target in primary and metastatic neuroendocrine tumors (NETs) are not known. METHODS: HSP90 cytoplasmic expression and Ki-67 index were re-reviewed and scored by a pathologist blinded to all other clinicopathologic variables for patients who underwent resection of primary and metastatic gastroenteropancreatic (GEP) neuroendocrine tumors at a single institution (2000-2013). Primary outcome was recurrence-free survival (RFS). RESULTS: Of 263 tumors reviewed, 73% (n = 191) were primary GEP NETs, and 12% (n = 31) were NET liver metastases. Of the primary GEP-NETs, mean age was 56 years, 42% were male; 53% (n = 103) were pancreatic and 23% (n = 44) were small bowel. HSP90 expression was high in 34% (n = 64) and low in 66% (n = 127). Compared to low expression, high HSP90 was associated with advanced T-stage (T3/T4) (47 vs 27%; p = 0.02). Among patients who underwent curative-intent resections for primary, non-metastatic NETs (n = 145), high HSP90 was independently associated with worse RFS (HR 5.09, 95% CI 1.65-15.74; p = 0.005), after accounting for positive margin, LN involvement, increased tumor size, site of primary tumor, and Ki-67. When assessing NET liver metastases, 13% (n = 4) had high HSP90 expression and 87% (n = 26) had low expression. Patients with liver metastases with high HSP90 tended to have worse 1- and 3-year progression-free survival (25%, 25%) compared to those with low HSP90 (69%, 49%; p = 0.059). CONCLUSION: HSP90 exhibits differential expression in resected GEP-NETs and liver metastases. High cytoplasmic expression is associated with early disease recurrence, even after accounting for other adverse pathologic factors. HSP90 inhibition may be a potential therapeutic target for neuroendocrine tumors.
