Abstract:Purpose: Assessment of treatment efficacy differences between rectal neuroendocrine tumors <10 mm and 10-20 mm nnder endoscopy. Establishment and validation of a predictive model for non-curative resection of rectal neuroendocrine tumors ≤20 mm. Method: Analyze the data of rectal neuroendocrine tumor patients admitted to suzhou university affiliated first hospital and suzhou ninth people's hospital from january 2013 to december 2023, including endoscopic findings, surgical methods, intraoperative and postoperative bleeding rates, and pathological results. Compare the postoperative bleeding rates, curative resection rates, clinical economic indicators, and follow-up results between <10mm and 10mm-20mm R-NETs. Establish a logistic regression model for non-curative resection of rectal neuroendocrine tumors ≤20mm, and create nomograms, roc curves, calibration curves, and decision curves. Result: Among the 213 patients included, the average age was 50.53±11.42 years, and 47.9% were male. The median distance from the anal verge was 7.11±2.79 cm. The tumor diameter was 8.24±3.75 mm. There were 133 patients (<10mm, 62.4%) and 80 patients (10mm-20mm, 37.6%). Treatment methods: EMR 25 cases, ESD 179 cases, EFR 5 cases, EMR followed by ESD 2 cases; pathological analysis: G1 stage 170 cases (79.8%), G2 43 cases (20.2%); CgA positive rate 138 cases (64.8%); Syn 138 cases 97.2%; Ki67 2.37±2.82%. no cases had distant lymphatic, vascular, or perineural infiltration. There were no significant differences in intraoperative and postoperative bleeding rates, curative resection rates, or long-term metastasis and recurrence rates between <10mm and 10mm-20mm R-NETs. based on this, a logistic regression model predicting non-curative resection of ≤20mm R-NETs was established using endoscopic features (surface depression), Ki-67, and CgA positivity as variables. the model had an AUC of 0.766, with a 95% confidence interval of 0.696-0.837, and a nomogram was created. clinical decision analysis confirmed its good clinical net benefit. the predicted probabilities of the model were consistent with observed probabilities. Conclusion: There is no significant difference in treatment outcomes between endoscopic resection of <10mm and 10mm-20mm R-NETs. For 10mm-20mm R-NETs, endoscopic resection should be considered as a first-line treatment method. Surface depression, high Ki-67 index, and positive CgA are risk factors for non-R0 resection under endoscopy. The predictive model established based on these factors demonstrates good performance in testing.
