Metastatic neuroendocrine hepatic tumors: resection improves survival.
BACKGROUND The optimal treatment for hepatic metastases from neuroendocrine tumors remains controversial because of the often indolent nature of these tumors. We sought to determine the effect of 3 major treatment modalities including medical therapy, hepatic artery embolization, and surgical resection, ablation, or both in patients with liver-only neuroendocrine metastases, with the hypothesis...
متن کاملHepatic surgery for metastatic gastrointestinal neuroendocrine tumors.
Gastrointestinal neuroendocrine cancers are of significant interest to clinicians and basic scientists. Although accuracy of diagnosis has improved with advances in radioimmune and hormonal assays and in the diagnosis of earlier disease by computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), many patients still present with hepatic metastases. In contrast to most metastatic gastrointe...
متن کاملHepatic Arterial Embolization for the Treatment of Metastatic Neuroendocrine Tumors
Neuroendocrine tumors (NETs) have a high predilection for metastasizing to the liver and can cause severe debilitating symptoms adversely affecting quality of life. Although surgery remains the treatment of choice, many liver metastases are inoperable at presentation. Hepatic arterial embolization procedures take advantage of the arterial supply of NET metastases. The goals of these therapies a...
متن کاملTransarterial Treatment of Liver Metastatic Neuroendocrine Tumors
N euroendocrine tumors (NETs) arise from neural and endocrine organs throughout the body, most commonly the gastrointestinal system and pancreas. The World Health Organization classifies welldifferentiated gastroenteropancreatic NETs into low grade and intermediate grade, and most poorly differentiated tumors are considered high grade, based on mitotic count/ Ki-67 proliferative index.1 Indolen...
