Clinical outcomes of patients with G1/G2 neuroendocrine tumors arising from foregut or hindgut treated with somatostatin analogs: a retrospective study

Abstract: Neuroendocrine tumors (NET) are rare tumors for which somatostatin analogs (SSA) are used not only for symptom control due to a functioning tumor, but also for the disease control of unresectable NET. The efficacy of SSA for midgut NET has been verified by previous studies, but insufficient evidence exists for SSA treatment of NET in the foregut and hindgut (F/H-NET). The aim of this retrospective study was to evaluate the efficacy of SSA for unresectable F/H-NET. Patients with unresectable F/H-NET treated wit… Show more

“…Other studies that evaluated the median PFS in patients on LAN treatment for the management of GEP or bronchial NETs are summarised in Supplementary File 1 (Table 1a, b) [4,5,[11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21]. The PFS reported in our study is in agreement with other publications [4,5,13,14,16,20,21].…”

“…However, SAA as first-line therapy exhibited an objective response rate (ORR) of no more than 10%. 11 In addition, a study suggested that everolimus, an inhibitor of mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR), is an effective and promising treatment for thymic NEN. 12 Of note, Ma et al revealed that dihydroorotate dehydrogenase (DHODH) is target for MEN1-mutated tumor cells, and leflunomide, an inhibitor of DHODH, can efficiently impede the growth of MEN1-mutated tumors.…”

“…National Comprehensive Cancer Network (NCCN) guidelines recommend that octreotide can be used as first‐line therapy for patients with local unresectable or distant metastases lesions. However, SAA as first‐line therapy exhibited an objective response rate (ORR) of no more than 10% 11 . In addition, a study suggested that everolimus, an inhibitor of mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR), is an effective and promising treatment for thymic NEN 12 .…”

“…These results are not consistent with the recent report; a study in Japan showed that median PFS on somatostatin analogs in patients with foregut/hindgut NETs was similar to that with midgut NETs. 19 A clinical trial of lanreotide is currently ongoing in South Korea in patients with hindgut NETs and this may help clarify the efficacy of lanreotide for hindgut NETs; 20 however, additional research into the response of patients with hindgut NETs is also warranted.…”
