Last decade of advances in gastric neuroendocrine tumors: Innovations, challenges, and future directions
G-NETs require tailored diagnosis and treatment based on type and stage. Types I and II generally have better prognosis, while types III and IV are linked to poorer outcomes due to invasion and metastasis. Treatment strategies vary from ER for type I to extensive surgery for type III. Emerging therapies, like somatostatin analogs and peptide-receptor radionuclide therapies, show promise in advanced cases. Further research is essential to improve early diagnosis and treatment, particularly for high-risk lesions.
