Objective To investigate the clinical features, treatment, and influence factors of prognosis in patients with gastric neuroendocrine neoplasms (GNENs). Methods From March 2011 to January 2016, the clinicopathological data of 44 patients with GNENs who treated in The Affiliated Hospital of Xuzhou Medical University were retrospectively analyzed to summarize the choice of treatment plan and analyze influence factors of prognosis. Results A total of 44 patients enrolled in this study. The major clinical manifestation included abdominal pain in 18 patients (40.9%), abdominal distension in 16 patients (36.4%), loss of appetite in 4 patients (9.1%), acid regurgitation and belching in 4 patients (9.1%), nausea and vomiting in 1 patient (2.3%), eating after choking sense in 3 patients (6.8%), gastrointestinal bleeding in 2 patients (4.5%), diarrhea in 1 patient (2.3%), and palpitations with weakness in 3 patients (6.8%). The treatment of 44 patients included radical resection in 26 patients (59.1%), endoscopic resection in 13 patients (29.6%), local excision in 1 patient (2.3%), and 4 patients had distant metastasis before operation were conducted of palliative treatment〔palliative resection in 2 patients (4.5%) and conservative treatment in 2 patients (4.5%)〕. Univariate analysis showed that the gender, the age, the tumor size, and the N staging (lymph node metastasis) were not associated with prognosis (P>0.050), but the tumor location and the depth of tumor invasion were related to the prognosis (P<0.050). The tumors located in the upper part of the stomach and the serosal infiltration indicated poor prognosis. However, neither of them can be used as independent factor to evaluate the poor prognosis of GNENs patients (P>0.050). Conclusions GNENs has nonspecific clinical manifestation. Radical surgery and endoscopic resection are the main treatment methods, but the influence factors of prognosis in GNENs patients need further study.
