| Core Tip |
This study demonstrates that percutaneous computed tomography-guided core needle biopsy effectively identifies clinically significant grading heterogeneity in liver metastases from gastroenteropancreatic neuroendocrine tumors. Notably, 40.2% of patients exhibited grade discrepancies between primary and metastatic sites, with upgraded tumors (e.g., G2 to G3) correlating with markedly reduced overall survival. These findings emphasize percutaneous computed tomography-guided core needle biopsy’s pivotal role in optimizing risk stratification, informing personalized therapeutic decisions (e.g., intensified surveillance or targeted therapies), and improving prognostic accuracy for gastroenteropancreatic neuroendocrine tumor patients, while confirming its safety and diagnostic reliability in clinical practice. |
