Introduction: The prognostic differences between neuroendocrine carcinoma (NEC) and mixed neuroendocrine-non-neuroendocrine neoplasm (MiNEN) remain unclear.

Methods: This study aims to compare the prognostic outcomes of NEC and MiNEN by analyzing the clinicopathological features of these diseases and exploring factors affecting progression after radical surgery. Additionally, we employed whole-exome sequencing to investigate the molecular mechanisms influencing the prognosis of both conditions.

Article Synopsis
  • National guidelines recommend segmental colectomy for appendiceal neuroendocrine neoplasms larger than 2.0 cm due to risks of lymph node involvement, with conditional overall survival becoming an important prognostic tool.
  • A study of 3,541 patients revealed that 16% had positive lymph nodes, and factors like size, depth of invasion, and lymphovascular involvement were correlated with metastasis.
  • The findings suggest that more clinicopathologic factors should influence decisions on surgical treatment and surveillance for better survival rates, especially for patients with more aggressive histologies.

Introduction: The clinical utility of applying endoscopic vascular patterns in rectal neuroendocrine tumor (NET) remains unknown. The aims of this study were to develop a system for utilizing vascular patterns for tumor grade and submucosal invasion depth.

Methods: We retrospectively included patients diagnosed as well-differentiated rectal NET between March 2015 and February 2024.

Article Synopsis
  • There has been a concerning rise in early-onset colorectal cancer (EO-CRC) cases, prompting research into how prognosis compares to late-onset colorectal cancer (LO-CRC).
  • A systematic review of 26 studies found that EO-CRC patients are more likely to be diagnosed at advanced stages, yet they have better overall survival rates compared to LO-CRC patients, while other survival metrics like cancer-specific survival remain similar.
  • The study highlights the need for better early detection methods for EO-CRC due to the differences in stage at diagnosis between the two groups.

Ectopic corticotropin-releasing hormone syndrome caused by rectal large cell neuroendocrine carcinoma: a rare case report.

Ther Adv Endocrinol Metab

December 2024

Department of Endocrinology, Beijing Hospital, National Center of Gerontology, Institute of Geriatric Medicine, Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences, No. 1 Dahua Road, Dongcheng District, Beijing 100730, China.

Ectopic corticotropin-releasing hormone (CRH) syndrome, a rare subtype of adrenocorticotropic hormone-dependent Cushing syndrome, is associated with tumors of diverse origins. Here, we present a case of a 37-year-old female diagnosed with ectopic CRH syndrome secondary to rectal large cell neuroendocrine carcinoma, a hitherto unprecedented site for CRH-secreting tumors. The patient presented with classical features of Cushing syndrome, supported by laboratory evidence of hypercortisolemia and disrupted diurnal cortisol secretion.
