The American Joint Committee on Cancer (AJCC) made improvements for staging pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors (pNETs) in its 8th Edition; however, multicenter studies were not included.
We collected multicenter datasets (n = 1,086, between 2004 and 2018) to validate the value of AJCC 8 and other coexisting staging systems through univariate and multivariate analysis for well-differentiated (G1/G2) pNETs.
Compared to other coexisting staging systems, AJCC 7 only included 12 (1.1%) patients with stage III tumors. Patients with European Neuroendocrine Tumor Society (ENETS) stage IIB disease had a higher risk of death than patients with stage IIIA (hazard ratio [HR]: 4.376 vs. 4.322). For the modified ENETS staging system, patients with stage IIB disease had a higher risk of death than patients with stage III (HR: 6.078 vs. 5.341). According to AJCC 8, the proportions of patients with stage I, II, III, and IV were 25.7%, 40.3%, 23.6%, and 10.4%, respectively. As the stage advanced, the median survival time decreased (NA, 144.7, 100.8, 72.0 months, respectively), and the risk of death increased (HR: II = 3.145, III = 5.925, and IV = 8.762).
These findings suggest that AJCC 8 had a more reasonable proportional distribution and the risk of death was better correlated with disease stage.
美国癌症联合委员会(AJCC)在其第8版中对胰腺神经内分泌肿瘤(pNETs)的分期进行了改进;然而,未纳入多中心研究。
我们收集了多中心数据集(2004年至2018年间,n = 1086),通过单因素和多因素分析来验证AJCC第8版及其他并存分期系统对高分化(G1/G2)pNETs的价值。
与其他并存分期系统相比,AJCC第7版仅纳入了12例(1.1%)III期肿瘤患者。欧洲神经内分泌肿瘤学会(ENETS)IIB期疾病患者的死亡风险高于IIIA期患者(风险比[HR]:4.376对4.322)。对于改良的ENETS分期系统,IIB期疾病患者的死亡风险高于III期患者(HR:6.078对5.341)。根据AJCC第8版,I期、II期、III期和IV期患者的比例分别为25.7%、40.3%、23.6%和10.4%。随着分期进展,中位生存时间缩短(分别为无数据、144.7、100.8、72.0个月),死亡风险增加(HR:II期 = 3.145,III期 = 5.925,IV期 = 8.762)。
这些发现表明,AJCC第8版具有更合理的比例分布,且死亡风险与疾病分期的相关性更好。
