Real-world Study on Adjuvant Octreotide Therapy in pNETs

October 17, 2023 updated by: Guo ShiWei, Changhai Hospital

Real-world Effectiveness of Adjuvant Octreotide Therapy in High Recurrence Risk Patients With Pancreatic Neuroendocrine Tumors

Adjuvant therapy in pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors (pNETs) after radical resection lacks evidence-based data and is controversial. Real-world data were clustered to validate whether the long-acting octreotide is a potential candidate for adjuvant therapy in high recurrence risk G2 pNET patients.

Intervention / Treatment

Detailed Description

Adjuvant therapy for pNETs was proposed as an unmet clinical need by the European Neuroendocrine Tumor Society Group in 2016.1The Clinical Practice Guidelines for pNETs in China recommended initiation of clinical trials to investigate the role of adjuvant therapy for patients with a high-risk of recurrence. To address this unmet clinical need, the investigators initiated this real-world study. The aim of the current study was to assess the impact of octreotide LAR as an adjuvant therapy in reducing recurrence and prolonging survival in Chinese non-metastatic pNETs patients at risk for recurrence.
