Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The goal of this observational study is to learn about the value of body composition as predictors of pathological grading and prognosis in patients with gastroenteropancreatic neuroendocrine neoplasms.

The main question it aims to answer is: Does body composition affect the pathological grading and prognosis of patients with gastroenteropancreatic neuroendocrine tumors? Participants with gastroenteropancreatic neuroendocrine neoplasms will answer questions about their physical condition during follow-up visits.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Objectives To explore the value of body composition parameters (BCPs) as predictors of pathological grading, prognosis in patients with gastroenteropancreatic neuroendocrine neoplasms (GEP-NENs).

Methods This retrospective multicenter analysis enrolled GEP-NENs patients pathologically confirmed from three institutions between 2015 and 2024. The volume of skeletal muscle and abdominal fat tissue was calculated based on CT scans at diagnosis. Univariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses were used to identify the relationships between BCPs and the pathological grade. The Kaplan-Meier method, along with the log-rank test, was employed for survival analysis. Independent prognostic factors were identified through uni- and multivariable Cox regression analyses.
