COMPARISON OF WHO CLASSIFICATIONS (2004, 2010), THE HOCHWALD GRADING SYSTEM, AJCC AND ENETS STAGING SYSTEMS IN PREDICTING PROGNOSIS IN LOCOREGIONAL WELL-DIFFERENTIATED PANCREATIC NEUROENDOCRINE TUMORS #MMPMID23598967

It is difficult to predict prognosis in patients with locoregional well-differentiated (WD) pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors (PanNET). We aimed to examine commonly used stratification systems (WHO 2004 and 2010 classifications, AJCC and ENETS staging, and the Hochwald grading system) for their power in predicting recurrence-free survival (RFS) in these patients. Seventy-five such patients (mean age 56 years, mean follow-up 79 months) that underwent resection with sufficient tissue material and follow up data were studied. RFS was correlated with variable clinicopathologic features and stratified with above-mentioned systems. Concordance-index (CI) was then calculated. With the WHO 2004 classification, 16, 35, and 24 PanNETs were classified as benign behavior, uncertain behavior, and well-differentiated endocrine carcinoma, respectively. By the WHO 2010 classification, 26, 41, and 8 tumors were grade 1, 2, and 3, respectively. Using the Hochwald system, 47 were low grade and 28 were intermediate grade. The AJCC staging information was complete for 62 patients (13 had lymph node status as Nx) and included: stage IA (19/62), IB (10/62), IIA (10/62), and IIB (23/62). The ENETS staging information was stage I (16/62), IIa (8/62), IIb (14/62), IIIa (0/62), and IIIb (24/62). The average Ki-67-proliferation index (PI) was 8.1%. Factors that predicted RFS included tumor size, nodal metastasis, vascular invasion, perineural invasion, necrosis, mitosis, and Ki-67 PI (all p<0.01). The CI for each system was: 0.6361 for WHO 2004, 0.6735 for WHO 2010, 0.6495 for AJCC staging, 0.6642 for ENETS staging, and 0.6851 for Hochwald grading system. When these systems were analyzed in conjunction with various additional important pathologic features, combination of Hochwald grading system and Ki-67 PI achieved the highest CI (0.7946). Therefore, while all these systems predict RFS well in locoregional WD PanNETs, the Hochwald grading systems achieves the highest predictive ability. Further predictive power can be achieved by combining the Hochwald grading system and Ki-67 PI.
