Survivals of patients with surgically treated and High-grade pancreatic neuroendocrine carcinomas: A comparative study between two American Joint Committee on Cancer 8th tumor-node-metastasis staging systems

摘要

Background and objective: We aimed to compare the two new defined tumor-node-metastasis (TNM) systems in the American Joint Committee on Cancer (AJCC) 8th staging manual for overall survival (OS) analysis of G3 pancreatic neuroendocrine carcinomas (p-NECs) that are currently proposed for pancreatic exocrine adenocarcinomas (p-EACs) and G1/G2 pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors (p-NETs), respectively.
