Abstract
Background
To assess the prognostic factors and investigate the optimal treatment of gastric mixed adenoneuroendocrine tumors.
Methods
We retrospectively analyzed clinical data from 80 patients with gastric mixed adenoneuroendocrine carcinoma that received radical resection in our department from January 2007 to December 2016. Risk factors for relapse and survival were analyzed using a multivariate Cox proportional hazards regression model. Gastric mixed adenoneuroendocrine carcinoma was divided into neuroendocrine carcinoma and adenocarcinoma based on the predominant type in the tumor.
Results
The 3-year overall survival was 40% in the neuroendocrine carcinoma group and 75% in the adenocarcinoma group (P = 0.006). The neuroendocrine carcinoma (NEC)-dominant tumors and a Ki-67-positive index ≥60% were independent risk factors for worse overall survival. The 3-year recurrence-free survival was 33% in the neuroendocrine carcinoma group and 68% in the adenocarcinoma group. NEC-dominant tumors and a Ki-67-positive index ≥60% were independent risk factors for gastric mixed adenoneuroendocrine carcinoma recurrence. Patients in the adenocarcinoma group that received adjuvant chemotherapy exhibited significantly better overall survival than patients that did not receive chemotherapy (median survival time 43 months vs. 13 months, P = 0.026).
Conclusion
The NEC-dominant tumors and a Ki-67-positive index ≥60% were significantly associated with worse survival and a higher recurrence rate for gastric mixed adenoneuroendocrine carcinoma patients. Patients in the adenocarcinoma group may benefit from gastric adenocarcinoma treatments.
