| Core Tip |
Rectal neuroendocrine tumors (r-NETs) are diminutive but potentially malignant neoplasms. The rate of R0 resection for endoscopic resection of small r-NETs is nearly 90%. However, there is still controversy about subsequent treatment options for patients with non-R0 endoscopically resected r-NETs. This retrospective study investigated 38 patients with non-R0 endoscopically resected r-NETs. Of these, 30 underwent salvage surgery while 8 received follow-up only. Postoperative pathology following salvage surgery indicated an absence of tumor cells in all 30 patients. No evidence of local tumor recurrence or distant metastasis was observed in all 38 patients during an average follow-up duration of 46.4 ± 14.8 months. These findings suggest that salvage surgery may not be essential for patients with non-R0 endoscopically resected r-NETs, with regular follow-up being a safe alternative. |
