Abstract

Renal neuroendocrine neoplasms are rare, with little to no data available on prognosis and treatment outcomes. We present the largest single-institution series of 17 patients, with a median follow-up of 62.8 months. After aggressive resection, the median time to recurrence was 18 months, and the median overall survival was 143 months. Somatostatin analogs provided disease stability in 4 of 9 patients.
