Overview

Retrospective cohort study explores outcomes of surgical versus non-surgical treatment for appendiceal neuroendocrine tumours.

Key Points

  • No metastases were found in appendiceal neuroendocrine tumours under 2 cm, suggesting a conservative approach may be appropriate.
  • Among 204 patients, only 20 underwent completion right hemicolectomy, indicating low surgical intervention necessity in smaller tumours.
  • Retrospective cohort study analyzed appendiceal neuroendocrine tumours over 17 years, providing a comprehensive view of treatment outcomes.
  • Data highlights that patients with tumours over 2 cm may require more aggressive surgical interventions.
