Article Synopsis
- The study aims to determine how the status and number of lymph node (LN) metastases impact relapse-free survival (RFS) and overall survival (OS) in patients with gastroenteropancreatic neuroendocrine tumors (GEP NETs) post-surgery.
- Researchers analyzed data from 217 patients who underwent curative resection for GEP NETs between 2002 and 2017, excluding grade 3 tumors, to evaluate various survival factors.
- Key findings indicate that factors like perineural invasion, LN positivity, and retrieving 8 or more LNs are significantly associated with shorter RFS, while tumor necrosis also correlates with worsened survival outcomes.
