  4. What is a neuroendocrine tumor (NET)? • First labelled as “carcinoid” tumor by German pathologist Siegfried Oberndorfer in 1907 • A heterogenous group of neoplasms arising from the neuroendocrine system • Generally characterized by their ability to produce functional hormones or polypeptides • Leading to a wide variety of clinical presentation Hallet, et al. "Exploring the rising incidence of neuroendocrine tumors: A population‐based analysis of epidemiology, metastatic presentation, and outcomes." Cancer 121.4 (2015): 589-597. Delle Fave, et al.

  5. What is a neuroendocrine tumor (NET)? • More than 50% of neuroendocrine tumor arises from gastrointestinal tract • Overall incidence • Gastric NET: • 0.33/100000 (US data) • 1.67/100000 (Japan data) • 6% of all neuroendocrine tumors • Duodenal NET: • 0.19/100000 (US data) • 0.17/100000 (Japan data) • 3.8% of all neuroendocrine tumors Hallet, et al.

  6. What is a neuroendocrine tumor (NET)? • Increasing incidence worldwide resulting from widespread use of endoscopy and increasing awareness among clinicians and pathologists Tsai, Hui-Jen, et al. "The epidemiology of neuroendocrine tumors in Taiwan: a nation-wide cancer registry-based study." PLoS One 8.4 (2013): e62487.

  7. Presentation Outline • Epidemiology • Clinical presentation • Classification • Endoscopic features • Other investigations • Treatment options • Follow up strategy

  8. Clinical presentation • Anemia (72%) • GI bleeding (32%) • Abdominal pain (69%) • Carcinoid syndrome (11%): diarrhea, flushing, wheeze • Serotonin released by NET into portal circulation is metabolized by the liver • Carcinoid syndrome seldom occurs in primary GI-NET (unless in extensive liver metastasis) and it is more common in extra-GI NET (such as bronchial NET) • Associated autoimmune abnormalities • Atrophic gastritis (67%) • Pernicious anemia (58%) • Not uncommonly, as incidental finding on endoscopic examination or upon histological assessment Gough, David B., et al.

  12. Types of duodenal NET • Important to identify possible association with hormonal or hereditary syndromes (e.g. MEN) as this would guide further investigation or treatment • Gastrinoma (60%) • 15-30% clinical Zollinger Ellison Syndrome • Rest of the gastrinoma are clinically silent • Most gastrinoma are found in “gastrinoma triangle” • Somatostatin rich NET (15-20%) • Gangliocytic paraganglioma • Duodenal neuroendocrine carcinoma

  14. Endoscopic features – gastric NET • Conventional endoscopy with white light imaging • Smooth hemispherical submucosal lesions • Polypoid lesions • Look for presence of background atrophic gastritis • Magnifying endoscopy with narrow band imaging (NBI) • Gastric mucosal pit structures preserved • Endoscopic ultrasonography (EUS) • Hypoechoic structure arising from submucosal layer Sato, Yuichi, et al. "Management of gastric and duodenal neuroendocrine tumors." World Journal of Gastroenterology 22.30 (2016): 6817.

  15. Endoscopic features – duodenal NET • Conventional endoscopy with white light imaging • Smooth hemispherical submucosal lesions • Polypoid lesions • Central depression or crater as tumor grows • Magnifying endoscopy with narrow band imaging (NBI) • Duodenal mucosal pit structures preserved • Pit structures may be absent and replaced by cyan coloured, corkscrew shaped capillaries over the central depression • Endoscopic ultrasonography (EUS) • Hypoechoic structure arising from submucosal layer Sato, Yuichi, et al.

  18. Radiological assessment • Conventional imaging • CT / MRI • Limited value for small type 1 and 2 gastric NET and duodenal NET in terms of cost-benefit ratio • PET with 18-FDG (fluorodeoxyglucose) • May identify high grade neuroendocrine tumors as they are more metabolically active • Somatostatin receptor imaging • Octretide scan (OctreoScan) • PET with 68-Gallium labelled tracers (-DOTATOC, -DOTANOC, DOTATATE) Bushnell, et al.

  19. Biochemical assessment • Chromogranin A (CgA) • Elevated in 60-100% of NET • Produced by chromaffin cells of the adrenal medulla, paraganglia, enterochromaffin-like cells and beta cells of pancreas • Serum level reflects tumor load • Serial measurement as the most important parameter for monitoring of disease status • 24hr urine 5-hydroxyindolacetic acid (5-HIAA) • Serotonin metabolite excreted in urine • Elevated levels generally imply the presence of liver metastasis Vinik AI, Woltering EA, Warner RR et al.

  20. Biochemical assessment • Measurement of gut hormones • Gastrin – gastrinoma • Insulin – insulinoma • Other biochemical screening tests for MEN type 1 • Serum calcium • Parathyroid hormone • Prolactin • Insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1) Vinik AI, Woltering EA, Warner RR et al.

  22. How to treat Gastroduodenal NET?

  23. Treatment of type 1 gastric NET • Endoscopic resection by means of EMR/ESD • Tumor size ≥ 10mm • Wedge excision or partial gastrectomy • Positive resection margin • T2 lesions (invades muscularis propria) or above • Somatostatin analogues (SSA) • No study comparing the use of SSA vs surveillance • Maybe useful in treatment multiple small lesions that are hard to eradicate on OGD • Netazepide • Gastrin receptor anatgonist • Antiproliferative properties in non-controlled studies

  24. Treatment of type 2 gastric NET • Treatment is usually dictated by possible presence of duodenal or pancreatic NET as part of MEN-1 • Local or limited excision is recommended • Use of Netazepide for type 2 NET is under trial

  25. Treatment of type 3 gastric NET • Follow the same management strategy as in gastric adenocarcinoma • Surgical treatment is recommended if feasible • Partial or total gastrectomy with LN dissection • Systemic therapies for inoperable or stage 4 disease

  26. Treatment of duodenal NET D-NETs: Duodenal neuroendocrine tumors; EUS: Endoscopic ultrasound; CT: Computed tomography; N+: Lymph node metastasis; M+: Distant metastasis; SRS: Somatostatin receptor scintigraphy; PRRT: Peptide receptor radionuclide therapy; SSA: Somatostatin analogues; CHT: Chemotherapy.

  27. Presentation Outline • Epidemiology • Classification • Clinical presentation • Endoscopic features • Other investigations • Treatment options • Follow up strategy

  28. Surveillance for gastroduodenal NET • Regular follow up is recommended but the exact time interval for surveillance endoscopy has not been well defined • In general, patients are recommended to repeat OGD at least every 2 years

  29. Bring home messages • Gastroduodenal neuroendocrine tumors is a rare disease entity • Endoscopic and relevant hormonal workup are essential • Endoscopic and surgical resection remains the cornerstone of therapy • Importance of regular follow up • Surveillance OGD • Monitoring of biochemical marker: chromogranin A
