TLDR
Advanced GI-NEC patients should be considered for chemotherapy treatment without delay, and poor performance status, colorectal primary and elevated platelets and LDH levels were prognostic factors for survival.

A common classification framework for neuroendocrine neoplasms: an International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) and World Health Organization (WHO) expert consensus proposal.

TL;DR: This work believes this conceptual approach can form the basis for the next generation of NEN classifications and will allow more consistent taxonomy to understand how neoplasms from different organ systems inter-relate clinically and genetically.
Journal ArticleDOI

The high-grade (WHO G3) pancreatic neuroendocrine tumor category is morphologically and biologically heterogenous and includes both well differentiated and poorly differentiated neoplasms.

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that well differentiated PanNETs that are G3 by Ki67 are significantly less aggressive than bona fide poorly differentiated NECs, suggesting that the current World Health Organization G3 category is heterogenous, contains 2 distinct neoplasms, and can be further separated into well differentiatedPanNET with an elevated proliferation rate and well differentiated NEC.

Long-Term Efficacy, Survival, and Safety of [177Lu-DOTA0,Tyr3]octreotate in Patients with Gastroenteropancreatic and Bronchial Neuroendocrine Tumors

TL;DR: PRRT with 177Lu-DOTATATE is safe with few side-effects and shows good response rates with PFS of 29 months and OS of 63 months and is a favorable therapeutic option in patients with metastatic bronchial and gastroenteropancreatic NETs that express somatostatin receptors.

A Randomized Clinical Trial of Cisplatin/Paclitaxel Versus Carboplatin/Paclitaxel as First-Line Treatment of Ovarian Cancer

TL;DR: The TC regimen achieved comparable efficacy to the PT regimen but was associated with better tolerability and quality of life, and should be considered as an important alternative for standard first-line chemotherapy in patients with advanced ovarian cancer.

Treatment of neuroendocrine carcinomas with combined etoposide and cisplatin. Evidence of major therapeutic activity in the anaplastic variants of these neoplasms

TL;DR: The anaplastic neuroendocrine tumor is strongly responsive to therapy with combined etoposide and cisplatin and should be evaluated for this possibility with appropriate immune staining or electron microscopy.
