Treatment outcomes of endoscopic resection for nonampullary duodenal neuroendocrine tumors.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The incidence rate of duodenal neuroendocrine tumors has been increasing in recent years. Endoscopic resection [ER; endoscopic mucosal resection (EMR), endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD)] is recommended for nonampullary duodenal neuroendocrine tumors (NAD-NETs) ≤10 mm in diameter that are confined to the submucosal layer and without lymph node or distant metastasis. However, the efficacy and safety of and indications for EMR/ESD remain unclear.

Methods

Between November 2011 and April 2021, 12 NAD-NETs in 12 patients who underwent either EMR or ESD were analyzed retrospectively. The rates of en bloc resection, complete resection, pathologic complete resection, margin involvement, lymphovascular invasion, perineural invasion, complications and prognosis were det
