Review on Rectal Neuroendocrine Tumor Joint Hospital Surgical Grand Round 15/10/2016
From “Carcinoid” to “Neuroendocrine Tumors” � 1907 Germany Pathologist Siegfried Oberndorfer � Arises from neuroendocrine cells � “Karzinoid” – “cancerous like” Neuroendecrine Neoplasm (NEN) Potential to Metastasize
Epidemiology � Increasing incidence ◦ Quickest rise among all neuro-endocrine neoplasm Ethnic association in Asian population ◦ Highest incidence 1. 2.

Management – Questions to Answer Assessment Treatment Surveillance
Assessment - Local � Complete colonoscopy Rectal Ultrasound ◦ Well demarcated, homogenous, isoechoic or hypoechoic lesions ◦ Tumor size and depth ◦ Para-rectal Lymph nodes 1. Lee SP, Sung IK, Kim JH, Lee SY, Park HS, Shim CS. The effect of preceding biopsy on complete endoscopic resection in rectal carcinoid tumor. J Korean Med Sci. 2014; 29: 512 ---8.
Assessment - Systemic � Imaging ◦ ◦ Multi-slice contrast CT MRI Octreotide scan PET-scan (Fluorodeoxyglucose, Gallium-68 Dota-octreotide) � Biochemical Markers ◦ Chromagranin A 1. 2. 3. Role ◦ ◦ Detection of metastasis Local spread and involvement May not be useful in diagnosis Staging of High grade / poorly differentiated tumors ◦ Monitoring Srirajaskanthan R, Kayani I, Quigley AM, Soh J, Caplin ME, Bomanji J: The role of 68 Ga-DOTATATE PET in patients with neuroendocrine tumors and negative or equivocal findings on 111 In-DTPA-octreotide scintigraphy.
