| Περίληψη: | Background: Digestive high-grade neuroendocrine neoplasms (HG-NEN) are rare and classified as neuroendocrine carcinomas (NEC) or neuroendocrine tumours G3 (NET G3), and differ in clinical and molecular characteristics, response to treatment and prognosis. Methods: Prospective multicenter study registering clinical data on patients with digestive HG-NEN. Treatment outcome in patients with advanced disease was compared after centralized pathological re-evaluation. Results: 427 NEC and 117 NET G3 received palliative chemotherapy. Immediate progression rate was 41% and 24%, progression-free survival (PFS) 3.4 m and 7.4 m, overall survival (OS) 7.4 m and 21.8 m for NEC and NET G3, respectively. Significant factors for OS in NEC were performance status (PS), Ki-67 > 55%, alkaline phosphatase (ALP), age, sex and for PFS colorectal primary and PS. NEC Ki-67 < 55% had similar OS comparing treatment. Significant factors for OS in NET G3 were platinum-based treatment, PS, age and ALP, and for PFS platinum-based treatment. Conclusions: Survival was shorter than expected in this unique population-based cohort of advanced digestive HG-NEN, likely due to inclusion of elderly and patients with poor PS. Several novel prognostic factors were identified for NEC and NET G3. An initial sub-effective platinum-based treatment for NET G3 could not be compensated by later-line treatment. (© 2025.
