Colonic neuroendocrine tumors (NETs), excluding rectal NETs, are often described as relatively common and aggressive, with inferior median survival compared with other gastrointestinal (GI) primary sites. However, epidemiological databases may conflate well-differentiated NETs with poorly differentiated neuroendocrine carcinomas (NECs), leading to a lack of precise data on the prevalence, clinical behavior, and prognosis of well-differentiated colonic NETs. We analyzed a large institutional database to identify patients with well-differentiated NETs originating in the colon, excluding rectal NETs.

Background: Lung neuroendocrine neoplasms (NENs) represent about 20% of all lung cancers. Few therapeutic options are available for atypical carcinoids (ACs). Single-agent temozolomide (TEM) is active in lung NENs, but whether the addition of capecitabine (CAPTEM) is associated with improved outcomes, is unknown.

Objectives: Well-differentiated neuroendocrine tumors (NET) are highly vascular tumors characterized by their expression of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF). This trial investigated the activity of ramucirumab, a monoclonal antibody that targets VEGF receptor-2 (VEGFR-2) and inhibits activity of VEGF, in combination with somatostatin analog therapy in patients (pts) with advanced extra-pancreatic NET.
Methods: We conducted a single-arm phase II trial enrolling pts with advanced, progressive extra-pancreatic NET.

Introduction: Segmental anatomical resections have been a subject of debate in recent years. There is increasing evidence that these procedures may offer some advantages in the treatment of early-stage lung cancer, with overall survival (OS) and disease-free survival (DFS) similar to those seen in lobar anatomical resections.
Materials And Methods: We conducted a retrospective analysis of patients who underwent segmentectomy at Santa Marta Hospital (HSM) between January 2018 and September 2022.
Prevalence, Etiology and Outcomes of Native Pulmonary Regurgitation in the General Adult Population.

Aims: Pulmonary regurgitation (PR) after reparative intervention for congenital heart disease has been studied extensively. However, the burden, distribution of causes, and outcome of PR in adults is unknown. The study aimed to evaluate the prevalence, types, and outcomes of moderate/severe PR in adults in the community setting.
