Shannon Chan Prince of Wales Hospital Rectal CarcinoidCurrent Management and Evidence
Case Scenario • F/47 Ms Ying • Good past health • Screening colonoscopy by private: • 1.5cm rectal polyp at 5cm from anal verge • Polyp base elevated with NS and snared • Path: Carcinoid, Margin involved
Concept Evolution 1907, Siegfried Oberndorfer described “carcinoid” (Karzinoide) of the small bowel at the German Pathological Society meeting Oberndorfer S. Karzinoide Tumoren des Dunndarms. Frank Z Pathol 1907
Concept Evolution 1963 Williams and Sandler classified carcinoids according to their embryologic site of origin as foregut carcinoids, midgut carcinoids, and hindgut carcinoids Pasieka et al.Surg Clin N Am 89 (2009) 1123-1137

Concept Evolution • “Carcinoid”, for gastroenteric NETs, used synonymously with the term ”well differentiated NE tumor” • “Malignant carcinoid” is used synonymously with the term well-differentiated NE carci- noma IRVIN M. MODLIN.Current Status of Gastrointestinal Carcinoids. GASTROENTEROLOGY 2005

Treatment • Locoregional disease • Tumor size: • < 1cm: Endoscopic/ Transanal resection • 1.0 – 2.0: Controversial • > 2cm: Radical surgery (LAR+TME/ APR)

Prognosis • Indolent disease • 5-yr survival rates: • Localised disease 84 – 90.8% • Regional spread 36.3 – 48.9% • Distant spread 20.6 – 32.3% Modlin IM, Lye KD, Kidd M: A five-decade analysis of 13,715 carcinoid tumors. Cancer 2003; 97: 934–959.
Conclusion • Indolent disease • Size dependent • Malignant potential • Surgery remains the mainstay of treatment • Ongoing trials for chemotherapeutic agents
1.5cm Rectal carcinoid with polypectomy done, margins involved So, going back to Ms Ying, what should we offer?
