Pancreatic endocrine tumors (PETs) are infrequent, which makes large experiences unlikely. Our aim was to describe a large single-center experience with PETs and the use of endoscopic ultrasound (EUS) and a cancer staging system (TNM).
This study involves a retrospective analysis of 86 patients (44 men; age, 58 +/- 14 years) who underwent EUS-fine needle aspiration (EUS-FNA). Immunohistochemistry was used. Lesions were classified as recommended by TNM classification.
Typical EUS features were well-demarcated, hypoechoic, solid, homogeneous lesions. Ninety percent had the diagnosis obtained by EUS-FNA. Twelve PETs (14%) were functioning, 8 (9.3%) were cystic, and 14 (16%) were 10 mm or smaller. Nonfunctional PETs and larger lesions were more advanced. The TNM stage was I in 24, II in 10, III in 18, and IV in 34 patients. Sixteen patients (27%) died, and 30 patients (52%) had progression/recurrence during the follow-up (34 +/- 27 months). TNM stage and surgery with curative intent were related to progression. The overall 5-year survival was 60%. The mean survival time was 94 +/- 12 months for stage I, 52 +/- 12 months for stage III, and 54 +/- 7 months for stage IV (P = 0.06).
Nonfunctional PETs were more common and advanced. The EUS-FNA has a high accuracy for diagnosing PETs. Progression and poorer survival were associated with TNM stage.
胰腺内分泌肿瘤(PETs)较为罕见,因此难以获得大量经验。我们的目的是描述一个大型单中心的 PET 经验,以及使用内镜超声(EUS)和癌症分期系统(TNM)。
本研究回顾性分析了 86 名(44 名男性;年龄 58 +/- 14 岁)接受 EUS-细针抽吸(EUS-FNA)的患者。使用免疫组织化学。病变按 TNM 分类推荐进行分类。
典型的 EUS 特征是边界清楚、低回声、实性、均匀的病变。90%的患者通过 EUS-FNA 获得诊断。12 例 PET(14%)为功能性,8 例(9.3%)为囊性,14 例(16%)为 10 毫米或更小。无功能性 PET 和较大的病变更为晚期。TNM 分期为 I 期 24 例,II 期 10 例,III 期 18 例,IV 期 34 例。16 例患者(27%)死亡,30 例患者(52%)在随访期间(34 +/- 27 个月)出现进展/复发。TNM 分期和以治愈为目的的手术与进展有关。总 5 年生存率为 60%。I 期的平均生存时间为 94 +/- 12 个月,III 期为 52 +/- 12 个月,IV 期为 54 +/- 7 个月(P = 0.06)。
无功能性 PET 更为常见且更为晚期。EUS-FNA 对诊断 PET 具有较高的准确性。进展和较差的生存与 TNM 分期有关。
