Abstract
BACKGROUND Pancreatoduodenectomy (PD) has a considerable surgical risk for complications and late metabolic morbidity. Parenchyma-sparing resection of benign tumors has the potential to cure patients associated with reduced procedure-related short- and long-term complications. MATERIALS AND METHODS Pubmed, Embase, and Cochrane libraries were searched for studies reporting surgery-related complications following PD and duodenum-preserving total (DPPHRt) or partial (DPPHRp) pancreatic head resection for benign tumors. A total of 38 cohort studies that included data from 1262 patients were analyzed. In total, 729 patients underwent DPPHR and 533 PD. RESULTS Concordance between preoperative diagnosis of benign tumors and final histopathology was 90.57% for DPPHR. Cystic and neuroendocrine neoplasms (PNETs) and periampullary tumors (PATs) were observed in 497, 89, and 31 patients, respectively. In total, 34 of 161 (21.1%) patients with intraepithelial papillar mucinous neoplasm exhibited severe dysplasia in the final histopathology. The meta-analysis, when comparing DPPHRt and PD, revealed in-hospital mortality of 1/362 (0.26%) and 8/547 (1.46%) patients, respectively [OR 0.48 (95% CI 0.15-1.58); p = 0.21], and frequency of reoperation of 3.26 % and 6.75%, respectively [OR 0.52 (95% CI 0.28-0.96); p = 0.04]. After a follow-up of 45.8 ± 26.6 months, 14/340 patients with intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasms/mucinous cystic neoplasms (IPMN/MCN, 4.11%) and 2/89 patients with PNET (2.24%) exhibited tumor recurrence. Local recurrence at the resection margin and reoccurrence of tumor growth in the remnant pancreas was comparable after DPPHR or PD [OR 0.94 (95% CI 0.178-5.34); p = 0.96]. CONCLUSIONS DPPHR for benign, premalignant neoplasms provides a cure for patients with low risk of tumor recurrence and significantly fewer early surgery-related complications compared with PD. DPPHR has the potential to replace PD for benign, premalignant cystic and neuroendocrine neoplasms.

Accurate non-invasive grading of nonfunctional pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors with a CT derived radiomics signature. Diagn Interv Imaging 2024; 105:33-39. [PMID: 37598013 PMCID: PMC10873069 DOI: 10.1016/j.diii.2023.08.002] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/22/2023] [Revised: 08/02/2023] [Accepted: 08/03/2023] [Indexed: 08/21/2023]
Abstract
PURPOSE The purpose of this study was to develop a radiomics-signature using computed tomography (CT) data for the preoperative prediction of grade of nonfunctional pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors (NF-PNETs). MATERIALS AND METHODS A retrospective study was performed on patients undergoing resection for NF-PNETs between 2010 and 2019. A total of 2436 radiomic features were extracted from arterial and venous phases of pancreas-protocol CT examinations. Radiomic features that were associated with final pathologic grade observed in the surgical specimens were subjected to joint mutual information maximization for hierarchical feature selection and the development of the radiomic-signature. Youden-index was used to identify optimal cutoff for determining tumor grade. A random forest prediction model was trained and validated internally. The performance of this tool in predicting tumor grade was compared to that of EUS-FNA sampling that was used as the standard of reference. RESULTS A total of 270 patients were included and a fusion radiomic-signature based on 10 selected features was developed using the development cohort (n = 201). There were 149 men and 121 women with a mean age of 59.4 ± 12.3 (standard deviation) years (range: 23.3-85.0 years). Upon internal validation in a new set of 69 patients, a strong discrimination was observed with an area under the curve (AUC) of 0.80 (95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.71-0.90) with corresponding sensitivity and specificity of 87.5% (95% CI: 79.7-95.3) and 73.3% (95% CI: 62.9-83.8) respectively. Of the study population, 143 patients (52.9%) underwent EUS-FNA. Biopsies were non-diagnostic in 26 patients (18.2%) and could not be graded due to insufficient sample in 42 patients (29.4%). In the cohort of 75 patients (52.4%) in whom biopsies were graded the radiomic-signature demonstrated not different AUC as compared to EUS-FNA (AUC: 0.69 vs. 0.67; P = 0.723), however greater sensitivity (i.e., ability to accurately identify G2/3 lesion was observed (80.8% vs. 42.3%; P < 0.001). CONCLUSION Non-invasive assessment of tumor grade in patients with PNETs using the proposed radiomic-signature demonstrated high accuracy. Prospective validation and optimization could overcome the commonly experienced diagnostic uncertainty in the assessment of tumor grade in patients with PNETs and could facilitate clinical decision-making.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To identify factors associated with concordance between World Health Organization (WHO) grade on cytological analysis (c-grade) and histopathological analysis (h-grade) of surgical specimen in patients with PanNETs and examine trends in utilization and accuracy of EUS-FNA in preoperatively predicting grade. BACKGROUND WHO grading system is prognostic in pancreatic neuroendo-crine tumors (PanNETs). The concordance between c-grade and h-grade is reported to be between 50% and 92%. METHODS A multicenter retrospective study was performed on patients undergoing resection for PanNETs at four high-volume centers between 2010 and 2019. Patients with functional or syndrome-associated tumors, and those receiving neoadjuvant therapy were excluded. Factors associated with concordance between c-grade and h-grade and trends of utilization of EUS-FNA were assessed. RESULTS Of 869 patients included, 517 (59.5%) underwent EUS-FNA; 452 (87.4%) were diagnostic of PanNETs and WHO-grade was reported for 270 (59.7%) patients. The concordance between c-grade and h-grade was 80.4% with moderate concordance ( Kc = 0.52, 95% CI: 0.41-0.63). Significantly higher rates of concordance were observed in patients with smaller tumors (<2 vs. ≥2cm, 81.1% vs. 60.4%, P = 0.005). Highest concordance (98.1%) was observed in patients with small tumors undergoing assessment between 2015-2019 with a near-perfect concordance ( Kc = 0.88, 95% CI: 0.61-1.00). An increase in the utilization of EUS-FNA (56.1% to 64.1%) was observed over the last 2 decades ( P = 0.017) and WHO-grade was more frequently reported (44.2% vs. 77.6%, P < 0.001). However, concordance between c-grade and h-grade did not change significantly (P = 0.118). CONCLUSION Recently, a trend towards increasing utilization and improved diagnostic accuracy of EUS-FNA has been observed in PanNETs. Concordance between c-grade and h-grade is associated with tumor size with near-perfect agreement when assessing PanNETs <2cm in size.

Abstract
Neuroendocrine tumors (NETs) represent a diverse set of malignancies, originating from the neuroendocrine cells dispersed throughout the body. Their symptoms are associated with the secretion of bioactive peptides by tumor cells. Five-year survival rates depend on the disease stage: 93% for local, 74% for regional, and 19% for metastatic disease. This report describes a case involving a 64-year-old male patient, who was enduring high blood pressure and anemia. His symptomatology included frequent fainting and bloody vomiting without prior bleeding, coupled with persistent abdominal pain and weight loss. A complete blood count revealed microcytic anemia. His condition improved postoperatively after the transfusion of two units of packed red blood cells, normalizing all parameters. Further biochemistry and serology tests did not provide significant insights. However, an upper endoscopy unveiled a deep ulcer below the gastroesophageal junction with ulcer desquamation. A combination of clinical, laboratory, and radiographic data initially indicated a gastric carcinoma of the intestinal type, characterized by extensive extracellular mucin secretion. The surgical intervention led to the extraction of multiple tumors from lymph nodes, culminating in a postoperative diagnosis of a gastrointestinal (GI) mesenchymal tumor. NETs predominantly manifest in the GI tract, initiating primarily in the small intestine but can also originate in the stomach, appendix, colon, and other parts of the GI tract. Their development from neuroendocrine cells enables them to produce high concentrations of hormone-like substances such as neuropeptides and amines.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Nonfunctional pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors display a wide range of biological behavior, and nodal disease is associated with metastatic disease and poorer survival. The aim of this study was to develop a tool to predict nodal disease in patients with small (≤2 cm) nonfunctional pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors. METHODS A multicenter retrospective study was performed on patients undergoing resection for small nonfunctional pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors. Patients with genetic syndromes, metastatic disease at diagnosis, neoadjuvant therapy, or positive resection margin were excluded. Factors associated with nodal disease were identified to develop a predictive model. Internal validation was performed using bootstrap with 1,000 resamples. RESULTS Nodal disease was observed in 39 (11.1%) of the 353 patients included. Presence of nodal disease was significantly associated with lower 5-year disease-free survival (71.6% vs 96.2%, P < .001). Two predictors were strongly associated with nodal disease: G2 grade (odds ratio: 3.51, 95% confidence interval: 1.71-7.22, P = .001) and tumor size (per mm increase, odds ratio: 1.14, 95% confidence interval: 1.03-1.25, P = .009). Adequate discrimination was observed with an area under the curve of 0.71 (95% confidence interval: 0.63-0.80). Based on risk distribution, 3 risk groups of nodal disease were identified; low (<5%), intermediate (≥5% to <20%), and high (≥20%) risk. The observed mean risk of nodal disease was 3.7% in the low-risk patients, 9.6% in the intermediate-risk patients, and 30.4% in the high-risk patients (P < .001). The 10-year disease-free survival in the low, intermediate, and high-risk groups was 100%, 88.8%, and 50.1%, respectively. CONCLUSION Our model using tumor grade and size can predict nodal disease in small nonfunctional pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors. Integration of this tool into clinical practice could help guide management of these patients.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Routine lymphadenectomy in pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors (pNETs) is debated. There lacks accurate model to predict lymph node metastasis (LNM) preoperatively in pNETs. Therefore, this study aimed at developing a nomogram in predicting LNM in pNETs preoperatively. METHODS Patients undergoing surgery from Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) database (design cohort, n = 2742) and First Affiliated Hospital of Sun Yat-sen University (validation cohort, n = 136) were enrolled. Nomogram was developed based on risk factors determined by logistic regression analyses. The performance of nomogram was evaluated by area under receiver operating characteristics curve (AUC), calibration curve, and decision curve analysis. RESULTS In design cohort, 915 of 2742 patients had LNM. Tumor in the pancreatic head, T stage, and tumor size were significantly associated with LNM (all p < 0.05). Prediction of nomogram was accurate with AUC of 0.776 in design cohort and 0.622 in validation cohort. The nomogram showed good agreement between prediction and observation in the design and validation cohort. Based on nomogram-predicted risk, patients with higher risk of LNM had worse overall survival over patients with lower risk of LNM (log-rank p < 0.001). CONCLUSIONS The novel nomogram could accurately predict LNM in pNET preoperatively. For patients with high risk of LNM, lymphadenectomy was recommended.

Front Nutr 2022; 9:945833.

Abstract
Objective The preoperative nutritional status of cancer patients is closely related to prognosis. The prognostic nutritional index (PNI) has been shown to predict the prognosis of a variety of tumors, but its study in pancreatic neuroendocrine neoplasms (pNENs) is lacking. The aim of the present study is to investigate the predictive value of the preoperative PNI for postoperative progression in patients with pNENs. Methods The medical records of 181 patients with pNENs, who underwent surgery, were retrospectively analyzed. A time-dependent receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve was plotted to determine the optimal cut-off value of the preoperative PNI. Correlations between the preoperative PNI and clinicopathological parameters were analyzed using multiple linear regression. A Kaplan-Meier curve was applied to assess the progression-free survival (PFS) rate, which was tested using a log rank. Univariate and multivariate Cox proportional risk regression models were used to analyze the predictive value of the preoperative PNI on prognosis. Results The optimal cut-off value of the preoperative PNI was 48.275. The patients were divided into a high PNI group (PNI > 48.275, n = 92) and a low PNI group (PNI ≤ 48.275, n = 89). The proportion of patients with tumor progression after surgery was significantly higher in the low PNI group compared with that in the high PNI group (P = 0.004). The Kaplan-Meier curve showed that the PFS rate after surgery was significantly lower in the low PNI group compared with that in the high PNI group (P = 0.026). The preoperative PNI was an independent predictor of PFS (HR: 2.727, 95% CI: 1.174∼6.333, P = 0.020). Conclusion The preoperative PNI has a predictive value for postoperative progression in patients with pNENs.

Survival Benefit of Surgical Resection for Pancreatic Neuroendocrine Tumors With Oligometastatic Liver Metastasis: A Retrospective and Propensity Score-Matching Analysis. Front Oncol 2022; 12:903560. [PMID: 35847865 PMCID: PMC9279685 DOI: 10.3389/fonc.2022.903560] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/24/2022] [Accepted: 05/18/2022] [Indexed: 11/22/2022] Open
Abstract
Background Pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors (PanNETs) are a heterogeneous group of pancreatic malignancies. Surgical resection is the only curative treatment option for patients with localized PanNETs, yet the role of cancer-directed surgery (CDS) in the setting of oligometastatic liver metastasis remains a controversy. Methods All patients diagnosed with PanNETs and liver-only metastasis from 2010 to 2018 were identified from the SEER database. The biases of baseline characteristics between CDS and no-CDS cohorts were reduced by the propensity score-matching (PSM) method, and the prognostic role of CDS was estimated using the Kaplan–Meier method and Cox regression models. Logistic regression analysis was utilized to identify factors associated with patients who underwent CDS. Results A total of 1,270 PanNET patients with oligometastatic liver metastasis were included and analyzed. Of these patients, 283 (22.3%) patients underwent CDS of the primary tumor, while the remaining 987 (77.7%) did not. The OS and CSS were significantly better in the CDS cohort regardless of the propensity score analysis. Multivariate analysis revealed that age, tumor differentiation, tumor location, and lymph node status were significantly associated with patients who were more likely to receive CDS. Conclusion Our study demonstrated that CDS was associated with survival benefits in selected patients with PanNETs and liver-only metastasis based on a large population database.

Abstract
Over the last 40 years, the incidence and prevalence of gastroenteropancreatic neuroendocrine neoplasms (GEP-NENs) have continued to increase. Compared to other epithelial neoplasms in the same organ, GEP-NENs exhibit indolent biological behavior, resulting in more chances to undergo surgery. However, the role of surgery in high-grade or advanced GEP-NENs is still controversial. Surgery is associated with survival improvement of well-differentiated high-grade GEP-NENs, whereas poorly differentiated GEP-NENs that may benefit from resection require careful selection based on Ki67 and other tissue biomarkers. Additionally, surgery also plays an important role in locally advanced and metastatic disease. For locally advanced GEP-NENs, isolated major vascular involvement is no longer an absolute contraindication. In the setting of metastatic GEP-NENs, radical intended surgery is recommended for patients with low-grade and resectable metastases. For unresectable metastatic disease, a variety of surgical approaches, including cytoreduction of liver metastasis, liver transplantation, and surgery after neoadjuvant treatment, show survival benefits. Primary tumor resection in GEP-NENs with unresectable metastatic disease is associated with symptom control, prolonged survival, and improved sensitivity toward systemic therapies. Although there is no established neoadjuvant or adjuvant strategy, increasing attention has been given to this emerging research area. Some studies have reported that neoadjuvant therapy effectively reduces tumor burden, improves the effectiveness of subsequent surgery, and decreases surgical complications.

Predictors of disease recurrence after curative surgery for nonfunctioning pancreatic neuroendocrine neoplasms (NF-PanNENs): a systematic review and meta-analysis. J Endocrinol Invest 2022; 45:705-718. [PMID: 34773595 DOI: 10.1007/s40618-021-01705-2] [Citation(s) in RCA: 13] [Impact Index Per Article: 6.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/26/2021] [Accepted: 11/03/2021] [Indexed: 02/06/2023]
Abstract
PURPOSE Patients submitted to curative surgery for non-functioning pancreatic neuroendocrine neoplasms (NF-PanNENs) exhibit a variable risk of disease relapse. Aims of this meta-analysis were to estimate the rate of disease recurrence and to investigate the risk factors for disease relapse in patients submitted to curative surgery for NF-PanNENs. METHODS Medline/Pubmed and Web of Science databases were searched for relevant studies. A meta-regression analysis was performed to investigate the source of recurrence rate heterogeneity. Pooled hazard ratios (HRs) and 95% confidence intervals (95% CI) were used to assess the effect of each possible prognostic factor on disease-free survival. RESULTS Fifteen studies, involving 2754 patients submitted to curative surgery for NF-PanNENs, were included. The pooled rate of disease recurrence was 21% (95% CI 15-26%). Study quality (Odds ratio, OR 0.94, P = 0.016) and G3-PanNENs rate (OR 2.18, P = 0.040) independently predicted the recurrence rate variability. Nodal metastases (HR 1.63, P < 0.001), tumor grade G2-G3 (G1 versus G2: HR 1.72, P < 0.001, G1 versus G3 HR 2.57, P < 0.001), microvascular (HR 1.25, P = 0.046) and perineural (HR 1.29, P = 0.019) invasion were identified as significant prognostic factors. T stage (T1-T2 versus T3-T4, P = 0.253) and status of resection margins (R0 versus R1, P = 0.173) did not show any significant relationship with NF-PanNENs recurrence. CONCLUSION Disease relapse occurs in approximately one out of five patients submitted to curative surgery for NF-PanNENs. Nodal involvement, tumor grade, microvascular and perineural invasion are relevant prognostic factors, that should be taken into account for follow-up and for possible trials investigating adjuvant or neoadjuvant treatments.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The mainstay of treating nonfunctioning-pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors(NF-PNETs) is surgical resection. However, minimally invasive approaches to pancreatic resection for treating NF-PNETs are not widely accepted, and the long-term oncological outcomes of such approaches remain unknown.
AIM To determine the short- and long-term outcomes of minimally invasive pancreatic resection conducted in patients with NF-PNETs.
METHODS Prospective databases from Severance Hospital were searched for 110 patients who underwent curative resection for NF-PNETs between January 2003 and August 2018.
RESULTS The proportion of minimally invasive surgery (MIS) procedures performed for NF-PNET increased to more than 75% after 2013. There was no significant difference in post-operative complications (P = 0.654), including pancreatic fistula (P = 0.890) and delayed gastric emptying (P = 0.652), between MIS and open approaches. No statistically significant difference was found in disease-free survival between the open approach group and the MIS group (median follow-up period, 28.1 mo; P = 0.428). In addition, the surgical approach (MIS vs open) was not found to be an independent prognostic factor in treating NF-PNET patients [Exp(β) = 1.062; P = 0.929].
CONCLUSION Regardless of the type of surgery, a minimally invasive approach can be safe and feasible for select NF-PNET patients.
