RESUMO
BACKGROUND: Neuroendocrine neoplasia (NEN) are rare and heterogenous tumours. Few data exist on the impact of surgical therapy. MATERIALS AND METHODS: This is a retrospective analysis of prospectively collected data of gastroenteropancreatic NEN in the German NET-Registry (1999-2012). It focuses on patients without distant metastases (limited disease, LD, stage I-IIIB). RESULTS: Data of 2239 patients with NEN were recorded. Median age was 59 years, the gender ratio was 1:1.3 (f:m). A total of 986 patients (44%) had LD, and the 5-year survival rate (5 years) was 77% for all and 90% for patients with LD. A total of 1635 patients (73%) received a surgical therapy (1st to 6th line); the 5 and 10 ysr were 83/65% after and 59/35% without surgery for all patients (p < .001). The resection margins in the LD patients were 76%, 16%, and 3% for R0, R1 and R2, respectively. The 10 ysr was 84%, 59% and 42% for R0, R1 and R2 resections, respectively (p = .021 R0/R1, p < .001 R0/R2). The R0 resection rate was 75% for G1/G2 NET and 67% for G3 NEC. CONCLUSION: The rate of complete tumour resection (R0) in LD is independent of tumour grading, and R0 resection is the key determinant of long-term survival, as demonstrated by the 10 ysr. of 84%. All NEN patients with limited disease should be considered for operation, if possible, as the best 10-year survival is shown after an R0 resection.

Introduction: The German PID-NET registry was founded in 2009, serving as the first national registry of patients with primary immunodeficiencies (PID) in Germany. It is part of the European Society for Immunodeficiencies (ESID) registry. The primary purpose of the registry is to gather data on the epidemiology, diagnostic delay, diagnosis, and treatment of PIDs. Methods: Clinical and laboratory data was collected from 2,453 patients from 36 German PID centres in an online registry. Data was analysed with the software Stata® and Excel. Results: The minimum prevalence of PID in Germany is 2.72 per 100,000 inhabitants. Among patients aged 1-25, there was a clear predominance of males. The median age of living patients ranged between 7 and 40 years, depending on the respective PID. Predominantly antibody disorders were the most prevalent group with 57% of all 2,453 PID patients (including 728 CVID patients). A gene defect was identified in 36% of patients. Familial cases were observed in 21% of patients. The age of onset for presenting symptoms ranged from birth to late adulthood (range 0-88 years). Presenting symptoms comprised infections (74%) and immune dysregulation (22%). Ninety-three patients were diagnosed without prior clinical symptoms. Regarding the general and clinical diagnostic delay, no PID had undergone a slight decrease within the last decade. However, both, SCID and hyper IgE- syndrome showed a substantial improvement in shortening the time between onset of symptoms and genetic diagnosis. Regarding treatment, 49% of all patients received immunoglobulin G (IgG) substitution (70%-subcutaneous; 29%-intravenous; 1%-unknown). Three-hundred patients underwent at least one hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT). Five patients had gene therapy. Conclusion: The German PID-NET registry is a precious tool for physicians, researchers, the pharmaceutical industry, politicians, and ultimately the patients, for whom the outcomes will eventually lead to a more timely diagnosis and better treatment.

INTRODUCTION: Gastroenteropancreatic neuroendocrine tumors (GEP-NETs) are rare tumors. We report data of 407 GEP-NET cases from a neuroendocrine tumor (NET) registry in India. METHODS: The AP-NET registry is an open-label, multicenter, longitudinal observational registry of patients with GEP-NETs in which six tertiary care oncology centers contributed data. Data was prospectively entered in a dedicated computerized database and was reviewed retrospectively. The patients were divided into three cohorts-those diagnosed from 2001 to 2005, from 2006 to 2010, and from 2011 to 2016. RESULTS: Of the 407 cases registered, 37 were in Cohort I, 136 in Cohort II, and 234 in Cohort III. Majority were symptomatic with only 98 patients (24.0%) asymptomatic. The most common presentation of non-functional tumors was abdominal pain (42.4%), while functional tumors presented most commonly with carcinoid syndrome. Use of DOTA-PET, introduced in 2011, has increased evaluation in 33.3% patients in Cohort III. The most common primary site was pancreas in all three cohorts. Male preponderance (58.3%) was seen. Histopathological grading was obtained in 230 (56.5%) patients-118 (29%) Grade I, 74 (18.2%) Grade II, and 36 (8.8%) Grade III NET. CONCLUSION: This report highlights changing trends in the diagnosis and reporting of NETs over the last 15 years.
