- OBJECTIVE:To study the clinical presentation, diagnostic approach, response to treatment and the presence of other pathologies in patients with gastric carcinoid type-1 tumors (GC-1).DESIGN AND METHODS:Retrospective analysis of 111 patients from 4 institutions and a mean follow-up of 76 months.RESULTS:The main indications for gastroscopy were upper gastrointestinal tract symptoms. The mean number of lesions, maximum tumoral diameter and percentage of cells expressing Κi-67 labeling index were 3.6±3.8, 8±12.1mm and 1.9±2.4%, respectively. Serum gastrin and chromogranin A (CgA) levels were elevated in 100/101 and 85/90 patients, respectively. Conventional imaging studies demonstrated pathology in 9/111 patients. Scintigraphy with radiolabelled octreotide was positive in 6/60 without revealing any additional lesions. From the 59 patients who had been followed-up without any intervention 5 developed tumor progression. Thirty-two patients were treated with long acting somatostatin analogues (SSAs), leading to a significant reduction of gastrin and CgA levels, number of visible tumors and CgA immune reactive tumor cells in 28, 19, 27, and 23 treated patients respectively. Antrectomy and/or gastrectomy was initially performed in 20 patients and a complete response was achieved in 13 patients. The most common co-morbidities were vitamin B12 deficiency, thyroiditis and parathyroid adenomas.CONCLUSIONS:Most GCs-1 are grade 1 (82.72%) tumors presenting with stage I (73.87%) disease with no mortality after prolonged follow-up. Ocreoscan did not provide further information compared to conventional imaging techniques. Treatment with SSAs proved to be effective for the duration of administration.
