| Core Tip |
This sensitivity meta-analysis of studies with ≥ 36 months follow-up confirms that salvage therapy does not significantly reduce recurrence rates compared with observation after incomplete resection of small rectal neuroendocrine tumours (odds ratio = 0.89, 95%CI: 0.37-2.18). Despite a 25% residual tumour rate at salvage, long-term outcomes do not favour routine re-intervention. These findings challenge current clinical practice and support individualised management based on risk stratification rather than automatic salvage. However, given the low event rates and limited follow-up, current evidence supports shared decision-making with patients. |
