Long-Term Clinical Outcomes of Rectal Neuroendocrine Tumors According to the Pathologic Status After Initial Endoscopic Resection: A KASID Multicenter Study

Abstract

Considering the long-term prognosis including that for recurrences or metachronous lesions, endoscopic resection is an efficient and a safe modality for the treatment of rectal NETs. This treatment may result in favorable clinical outcomes in patients with tumors of indeterminate pathology, as well as in pathologic tumor-free cases after initial resection.
