ENETS TNM Staging Predicts Prognosis in Small Bowel Neuroendocrine Tumours

Table 2

List of different interventions undertaken in small bowel neuroendocrine tumour patients; it lists the intervention and number of procedures undertaken.

Intervention	No. of interventions	No. of patients
Total number that had primary tumour resected	100	100
Failed resection of primary tumour	4	4
No resection of primary tumour	34	34
Primary tumour resection plus liver resection/RFA	14	14
Resection of liver metastases	48	37
Resection of other sites of metastatic disease	2	2
Liver transplant	2	2
Carcinoid heart valve surgery	3	3
Further bowel resection	3	3
TACE/TAE	23	17
SIRT	7	6
PRRT	19	16
^131I-MIBG therapy	14	14
Radiotherapy	2	2
Chemotherapy	10	10

For ¹³¹I-MIBG (iodine-131-meta-iodobenzylguanidine) and PRRT (peptide receptor radiotargetted therapy) an intervention comprised of 3-4 cycles of therapy. Each embolization was counted as a separate intervention. Heart value surgery involved tricuspid valve replacement in 2 cases, and one case had a tricuspid valve replacement plus pulmonary valvuloplasty. Abdominal radiotherapy was performed in two patients.
