Abstract:
408 Background: Current surveillance guidelines regarding follow up of patients with resected pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors (PNETs) are based on limited data, and there have been few studies evaluating recurrence risk in such patients. We assessed disease-free survival (DFS) in a large, multi-institutional cohort of patients with resected PNETs. Methods: Patients with surgically resected, non-metastatic PNETs between 1990-2017 were identified using institutional databases at three institutions: Mount Sinai Hospital, Dana-Farber Cancer Institute, and University of Pennsylvania. Recurrence date was defined as the imaging date documenting first recurrence (n = 56); if an imaging date was not available, then July 1 of that year was used in calculations (n = 9). Kaplan-Meier analysis was used to estimate DFS; multivariate Cox regression analysis was used to assess DFS adjusted for patient and disease-related characteristics, including tumor stage and grade. Results: We identified a total of 418 patients with surgically resected, non-metastatic PNETs between 1990-2017. Of these patients, 299 patients had complete stage and tumor grade information and were used for subsequent analysis. Patients were 48.6% male with a median age of 57.5 years at time of surgery. The distribution of AJCC stage and grade was as follows: 170 (56.9%) patients were stage I, 129 (43.1%) were stage II; 167 (55.9%) had grade 1, 121 (40.5%) had grade 2, and 11 (3.7%) had grade 3 tumors. Median follow-up was 2.6 years (interquartile range = 4.2); during this time, 65 (21.7%) patients developed disease recurrence. After adjusting for potential confounders, patients with more advanced stage and higher tumor grade were significantly more likely to develop disease recurrence (Hazard Ratio (HR): 6.9, 95% CI: 2.5-19.1 for stage II; HR 4.0 (1.7-9.5) for grade 2; HR 2.6 (0.4-17.8) for grade 3). Both higher stage and tumor grade were associated with decreased DFS (p 〈 0.0001 for both). Conclusions: In surgically resected PNETs, with a median follow-up time of 2.6 years, both higher stage and higher grade are associated with decreased DFS. Further follow up of this cohort is planned.
