Support for a postresection prognostic score for pancreatic endocrine XXXX .

@entity1 @entity788 @entity5 @entity3
BACKGROUND: Prognostic scores predicting long-term survival of @entity1 with @entity788 ( @entity788 ) have been created. The purpose of this study was to validate a prognostic scoring scheme at a single institution. METHODS: We reviewed all resections for @entity788 from 1996 to 2004. Prognostic scores based on @entity1 age, @entity5 grade, and distant @entity3 were calculated. Survival was compared with an established postresection prognostic score for @entity788 . RESULTS: A total of 34 @entity788 were identified. Predicted 5-year survival for prognostic scores of 1, 2, and 3 were 76.7%, 50.9%, and 35.7%, respectively. Final prognostic scores of 1, 2, and 3 were observed in 13 (38%), 18 (53%), and 3 (9%) @entity1 , with observed actual 5-year survivals of 92.3%, 72.2%, and 66.7%, respectively. CONCLUSIONS: PNET prognostic scores were found to be inversely related to survival. PNET postresection prognostic score categories may be useful tools in predicting long-term survival.
