The survival of 64 consecutive patients with disseminated midgut carcinoid tumours was compared in a retrospective study with that of 25 consecutive patients with sporadic malignant endocrine pancreatic tumours treated according to similar surgical principles. The presence of hepatic metastases implied a worse prognosis in neuroendocrine tumours of pancreatic rather than midgut origin. This infers that these tumour types must be separated when treatments are evaluated.
在一项回顾性研究中,对64例连续性播散性中肠类癌肿瘤患者的生存率与25例连续性散发性恶性内分泌胰腺肿瘤患者(根据相似的手术原则进行治疗)的生存率进行了比较。肝转移的存在意味着胰腺而非中肠起源的神经内分泌肿瘤预后更差。这表明在评估治疗方法时,必须将这些肿瘤类型区分开来。
