| Core Tip |
The aggressive growth pattern of the rare tumor colorectal neuroendocrine carcinoma (NEC) results in the rapid growth into the tract, metastasis to the other organs, and invasion to the surrounding organs. The overall prognosis has been poor compared with invasive colon adenocarcinoma. The aggressive growth pattern of this tumor could result in the colonic stenosis, tumor rupture outside the colon, and invasion to the surrounding organs. Because of its rarity and poor prognosis, clinical information has not been yet summarized; we have summarized the information obtained from 60 cases reported to date. The information summarized in the present study would be of great importance to assist physicians for the diagnosis, treatment, and management of the symptoms of patients with NEC. |
