Survival Outcomes in Stage IV Small Bowel Neuroendocrine Tumor Patients Undergoing Loco-Regional Surgery: An Experience From a Pakistani Cancer Center
These findings suggest that surgical intervention may not offer a significant survival advantage. While our findings are consistent with existing literature regarding the predominance of small bowel NETs and the role of surgery in treatment, the small sample size and single-institution nature of this study limit the generalizability of our results.
