| Core Tip |
Incomplete resection of rectal neuroendocrine tumors raises concern for residual disease and recurrence, yet the optimal management remains debated. In this systematic review and meta-analysis of 34 studies, residual tumors were identified on salvage pathology in about 25% of cases, whereas recurrence was rare in both salvage and observation groups. Although crude data suggested fewer recurrences with salvage treatment, comparative meta-analysis showed no significant difference. These findings highlight salvage resection as a diagnostic and therapeutic option, but its routine use for recurrence prevention is uncertain. Clinical decisions should be individualized. |
