Type A Type B Overall survival of 136 patients with GEP NEC according to histological subtype Type C Figure 1: 1A + 1A1: Type A neuroendocrine carcinoma. The neoplasm is composed of relatively monomorph neoplastic cells, arranged in regular nests without necrosis, with nuclei showing finely dispersed chromatin without evidence of severe atypia. The proliferation index assessed with MIB1 Ki67 is less than 55% (1 A1). 1B + 1B1: Type B neuroendocrine carcinoma. The neoplasm is composed of atypical neoplastic cells, distributed in irregular structures for size and shape, with prominent nucleoli and intratumoral necrotic foci. The proliferation index assessed with MIB1 Ki67 is less than 55% (1 B1). 1C + 1C1: Type C neuroendocrine carcinoma. The neoplasm is composed of large and intermediate neoplastic cells, with atypical nuclei with prominent nucleoli. Abundant intratumoral necrosis is evident. The proliferation index assessed with MIB1 Ki67 is 55% or more (1 C1).

generally not successful in the majority of G3 tumors [45]. ENETS 2016 guidelines GEP NEC Minimal consensus statement on treatment For patients with localized disease, combination of platinum-based chemotherapy with local treatment consisting of surgery, radiotherapy or both probably offers the greatest likelihood of long-term survival. Debulking or surgical resect ion of metastasis are not recommended. Systemic chemotherapy is indicated in advanced inoperable disease, provided the patient has adequate organ function and performance status and patients should be rapidly referred for consideration of palliative chemotherapy. The combination of cisplatin and etoposide, or alternative regimens substituting carboplatin for cisplatin, or irinotecan for etoposide, are recommended as first-line therapy. Since response rates of these regimens are lower in patients with Ki-67 in the lower range of G3 (20-55%), other treat ment options may be explored in these patients (especially perhaps for NEC of GI origin). While 2nd-line regimens have not been evaluated rigorously, options include temozolomide-, irinotecan- or oxaliplatinbased schedules as main alternatives. There are no data to support the use of somatostatin analogs or PRRT in patients with GEP NECs expressing so matostatin receptors. Prophylactic cranial irradiation is not indicated in patients with limited-stage disease in complete remission. Follow-up Garcia-Carbonero et al., Neuroendocrinology Jan 2016
