Plain English summary of protocol
Background and study aims
Duodenal neuroendocrine tumors (D-NETs) are uncommon tumors that start in the nerves and gland cells of the first part of the small intestine. Laparoscopic and endoscopic cooperative surgery (LECS) is a promising approach for treating gastrointestinal (digestive system) tumors. This study aims to evaluate the feasibility and safety of LECS for D-NETs.
Who can participate?
Patients aged 20-80 years with duodenal neuroendocrine tumors
What does the study involve?
Patients with D-NET who had LECS have their medical records retrospectively evaluated. A CT scan and upper gastrointestinal endoscopy with biopsy are required for routine evaluation of the disease and detection of probable metastases (secondary tumors). After the initial diagnosis, endoscopic ultrasonography (EUS) is used to evaluate the invasive depth and exclude local lymph node metastases. Functional imaging, like somatostatin receptor scintigraphy, is used when there is an abnormality in conventional imaging.
Generally, LECS is performed through collaboration between the surgical team and endoscopists. The same skilled endoscopist (Dr Gui-Qi Wang) performs all endoscopic procedures with endoscopic full-thickness resection.
What are the possible benefits and risks of participating?
The benefits and risks are the same as the usual surgery
Where is the study run from?
National Cancer Center/Cancer Hospital, Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences and Peking Union Medical College (China)
When is the study starting and how long is it expected to run for?
September 2018 to January 2027

1. Sanming Project of Medicine in Shenzhen (China)
2. Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences (China)

| Intervention | Patients with D-NET who had LECS had their medical records retrospectively evaluated. Enhanced computed tomography (CT) scan and upper gastrointestinal (GI) endoscopy with biopsy were required for routine evaluation of the disease and detection of probable metastases. After the initial diagnosis, endoscopic ultrasonography (EUS) was indicated to evaluate the invasive depth and exclude local lymph node metastasis (LNM). Functional imaging, like somatostatin receptor scintigraphy (for example, positron emission tomography (PET)/CT with 68Ga-DOTA-peptides), would be indicated when there is an abnormal in conventional imaging. The LECS criteria included the following: 1) Histological confirmation of NETs; 2) tumor diameter no greater than 10 mm; 3) confined to the mucosal or submucosal layer on EUS; 4) absence of regional or distant lymph node metastases on imaging; 5) non-ampullary NETs. Endoscopic procedure Generally, LECS was performed through collaboration between the surgical team and endoscopists. The same skilled endoscopist (Dr Gui-Qi Wang) performed all endoscopic procedures with endoscopic full-thickness resection (EFTR). The details of EFTR have been discussed in previous research. Surgical procedure The patient was positioned with legs apart in a modified Trendelenburg position. Five trocars were put in a V shape. As an observation port, a 10-mm trocar was placed through the umbilical cord. The pneumoperitoneum was created by the insufflation of carbon dioxide to an abdominal pressure of 12 mmHg. Trocars measuring 5 mm were inserted into the upper right, upper left, and left abdominal lateral regions, respectively. As the main port, a 12-mm trocar was placed in the right lateral abdominal region. Kocher mobilization was undertaken, if necessary, to expose the second portion of the duodenum. This procedure made it easier to have a clear visualization for suturing. The lesion was collected in a plastic bag and extracted through the main port. The defect was manually closed using a 15-cm barbed running suture (V-LOCTM 180 Absorbable Wound Closure Device, Covidien, Mansfield, MA). Under the surveillance of the surgeon and endoscopist, the absence of air leakage and stenosis was finally confirmed. A drainage catheter was positioned near the duodenal incision. A feeding tube was usually inserted through the closed wound in case of duodenal stasis. On the third postoperative day, duodenal patency was evaluated by upper gastrointestinal imaging. |
