Chemotherapy in Well Differentiated Neuroendocrine Tumors (NET) G1, G2, and G3: A Narrative Review

Arianna Zappi et al.

Summary: Neuroendocrine tumors (NETs) have diverse clinical behaviors, ranging from long survival in well-differentiated NETs to poor prognosis in high-grade neuroendocrine carcinomas (NECs). The use of chemotherapy in NECs is well established, but data on NETs is limited and mainly derived from small studies and expert opinions. This review aims to summarize the available evidence on chemotherapy in G1-2 NETs and G3 NETs. While specific treatment regimens have shown efficacy in gastroenteropancreatic NETs (GEP-NETs) and thoracic NETs, solid evidence on the efficacy of chemotherapy in G3 NETs is still lacking. Further studies are needed to better understand the role of chemotherapy in this setting.

Randomized Study of Temozolomide or Temozolomide and Capecitabine in Patients With Advanced Pancreatic Neuroendocrine Tumors (ECOG-ACRIN E2211)

Pamela T. Kunz et al.

Summary: In patients with advanced pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors (NETs), the combination of capecitabine and temozolomide showed significant improvement in progression-free survival compared to temozolomide alone. This combination therapy achieved the highest reported median progression-free survival and response rate in a randomized study for pancreatic NETs.

Comprehensive Genomic Profiling of Neuroendocrine Carcinomas of the Gastrointestinal System

Shinichi Yachida et al.

Summary: Gastrointestinal neuroendocrine carcinoma (GIS-NEC) is a rare but highly malignant tumor that is genetically distinct from gastrointestinal neuroendocrine tumors (GIS-NET). There are clear genomic differences between pancreatic NECs (Pant-NEC) and nonpancreatic GIS-NECs (Nonpanc-NEC). Panc-NECs can be classified into two subgroups based on genomic and epigenomic features.

A Ki-67 Index to Predict Treatment Response to the Capecitabine/Temozolomide Regimen in Neuroendocrine Neoplasms: A Retrospective Multicenter Study

Wei Wang et al.

Summary: The study investigated the clinical utility of Ki-67 index in predicting the response to the CAPTEM regimen in metastatic NENs patients. Patients with Ki-67 range of 10-40% demonstrated higher response rates to the CAPTEM regimen. Ki-67 index was identified as an important prognostic factor for overall survival and progression-free survival in patients treated with the CAPTEM regimen.

Driver mutations occur frequently in metastases of well-differentiated small intestine neuroendocrine tumours

Kris G. Samsom et al.

Summary: The study revealed that driver mutations occur in 50% of metastatic SI-NETs, and their presence is associated with a high Ki67 proliferation index. Potential targetable genetic alterations were commonly detected in metastatic SI-NETs.

A Consensus-Developed Morphological Re-Evaluation of 196 High-Grade Gastroenteropancreatic Neuroendocrine Neoplasms and Its Clinical Correlations

Hege Elvebakken et al.

Summary: In this study, high-grade gastroenteropancreatic neuroendocrine neoplasms (GEP-NENs) were classified based on morphology and proliferation rate, leading to the differentiation of well-differentiated neuroendocrine tumors and poorly differentiated neuroendocrine carcinomas. Specific morphological criteria such as organoid growth pattern, capillary network contact to tumor cells, and absence of desmoplastic stroma were found to be useful in distinguishing between the two types. Patients stratified by morphology and proliferation rate showed significant differences in response to chemotherapy and overall survival, highlighting the importance of accurate classification in guiding treatment decisions for high-grade GEP-NENs.

Efficacy and safety of high-dose lanreotide autogel in patients with progressive pancreatic or midgut neuroendocrine tumours: CLARINET FORTE phase 2 study results

Marianne Pavel et al.

Summary: Reducing the dosing interval of lanreotide autogel to every 14 days in patients with progressive NETs following standard-regimen LAN showed encouraging progression-free survival, especially in patients with a Ki-67 < 10%; there were no safety concerns and no deterioration in quality of life.

Alberto Bongiovanni et al.

Summary: TEM-based regimens show a high disease control rate and relatively tolerable toxicity profile in NENs of pancreatic, intestinal, and lung origin. Further investigation of these specific NETs is warranted in prospective clinical trials.

Efficacy of FOLFOX in Patients with Aggressive Pancreatic Neuroendocrine Tumors After Prior Capecitabine/Temozolomide

Taymeyah Al-Toubah et al.

Summary: This study demonstrated that FOLFOX chemotherapy has activity in aggressive pNETs that have progressed after prior cap/tem treatment, but the durations of response are relatively short, highlighting the need for new and more effective treatment options for patients with aggressive transformation of pancreatic NETs.
