[Surgical prognostic factors of gastroenteropancreatic neuroendocrine tumors (GEP NET)].

Objective: to determine surgical prognostic variables from a retrospective cohort of histopathologically confirmed gastroenteropancreatic neuroendocrine tumors (GEP-NET) in Mexican subjects.

Methods: consecutive patients treated for GEP-NET from 1999 through 2007 at Oncological Hospital were included. Demographic, clinical variables, disease-free survival were retrieved.

Resectability of primary gastroenteropancreatic neuroendocrine tumor as a prognostic factor for survival.

Background: Gastroenteropancreatic neuroendocrine tumors (GEP-NETs) originate from gastrointestinal cells and pancreas; most are benign or well-differentiated. GEP-NET treatment objectives are tumor resection and reduction of tumor growth and dissemination, as well as symptom amelioration. We undertook this study to identify prognostic factors among patients with GEP-NETs.
