Background: Gastric and duodenal neuroendocrine tumours are increasing in incidence. ENETS guidelines suggest endoscopic resection of type 1 gastric NENs over 10 mm and consider endoscopic resection for duodenal NENs. However, the endoscopic techniques are not clearly mandated. There, is evidence to suggest endoscopic mucosal dissection has higher incidence of R0 resections compared with polypectomy or EMR alone. We have reviewed our data of endoscopic resection of gastro-duod...

Introduction: Gastric NENs are increasingly being diagnosed at endoscopy. The majority of these are type 1 gastric NEN. However, around 10–20% can be type 3 or type 4 Gastric NENs.Methods: A retrospective review performed of 54 patients with gastric NENs referred to a tertiary centre during 2014 to 2019.Results: Of the 54 cases referred, 45 were type 1 gastric NENs and the 9 were type 3 Gastric NENs. Of the 45 type 1 gastric N...

Background: Type III gastric neuroendocrine neoplasms (g-NEN) are usually lesions of higher grade and often associated with loco-regional and distant metastases. Guidelines recommend partial or total gastrectomy with local lymph node resection. Data for less-extensive resections are limited.Aim: To assess whether advanced endoscopic excision [Endoscopic Mucosal Resection (EMR) or Endoscopic Submucosal Dissection (ESD)] or localized surgical approach (wed...
