description | OBJECTIVE: To analyze clinical behavior of, optimal treatment regimens for, outcomes, and prognosis of 170 patients with neuroendocrine tumors (NETs) of the endometrium. METHODS: The Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results database was used to identify patients with endometrial NETs diagnosed between 2004 and 2015. Clinical features and treatment regimens were analyzed, and 5-year overall survival (OS) and cancer-specific survival (CSS) were compared among different stages and treatment regimens. Univariate and multivariate analyses were performed to identify independent prognostic factors associated with endometrial NETs. Finally, prognosis was compared between small- and large-cell neuroendocrine carcinoma (SCNEC and LCNEC, respectively) of the endometrium. RESULTS: There were 20, 8, 47, and 95 patients with stage I, II, III, and IV NET, respectively. The 5-year OS rates of patients in each stage were 59.86%, 42.86%, 32.75%, and 6.04%, respectively. The 5-year CSS survival rates were 59.86%, 50.0%, 38.33%, and 6.39%, respectively. In the multivariate analysis, American Joint Committee on Cancer (AJCC) stage and treatment were associated with poor OS, while AJCC stage, nodal metastasis, and treatment were associated with poor CSS. Neither pathological type nor distant metastasis was associated with prognosis. The rate of distant metastasis was significantly higher for LCNEC than for SCNEC, while 5-year OS and CSS rates were significantly lower. CONCLUSION: Complete surgical treatment should be selected regardless of staging for patients with endometrial NETs. For early-stage disease, individualized postoperative treatment with single chemotherapy or radiotherapy may improve OS and CSS. For advanced-stage disease, comprehensive postoperative adjuvant therapy may improve OS and CSS. |
