Introduction: Small bowel NETs (SBNETs) are a group of heterogenous tumours that can exist as unifocal or multifocal disease. The current literature regarding multifocal SBNETs includes small patient cohorts and mainly focuses on histopathologic characteristics only. Data regarding the presenting symptoms and survival are lacking.Aim: To present clinical characteristic, disease free survival (DFS) and overall survival (OS) in patients with multifocal SBN...

Introduction: The incidence and prevalence of GEP-NENs is rising worldwide. NENs represent the group off well differentiated neuroendocrine tumours (NET) and poorly differentiated neuroendocrine carcinoma (NEC). NETs can be divided into grade 1 (G1), grade 2 (G2) and grade 3 (G3) based on histological parameters. There exist several studies regarding survival data but these are mainly based on national databases.Aim: To describe the real world overall su...

Background: Small pancreatic neuroendocrine tumours (PNETs) present a management dilemma because of their uncertain natural history. Some clinicians believe that lesions <2 cm are indolent and can be managed with surveillance. By contrast, the most recent WHO classification system regards all PNETs as potentially malignant.Aim: To assess the malignant behaviour of small PNETs in a large, retrospective, multicentre patient cohort.<p class="abstext...
