Abstract

Background: Pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors are rare neoplasms for which few predictive and/or prognostic biomarkers have been validated. Our previous work suggested the potential of the combined expression of N-myc downstream-regulated gen-1 (NDRG-1), O6-methylguanine DNA methyltransferase (MGMT) and Pleckstrin homology-like domain family A member 3 (PHLDA-3) as prognostic factors for relapse and survival. Methods: In this new multicenter study we evaluated immunohistochemistry expression in 76 patients with advanced PanNET who were treated with capecitabine-temozolomide or everolimus. Based on the immunohistochemistry panel, an immunohistochemistry prognostic score (IPS) was developed. Results: In patients treated with capecitabine and temozolomide, low IPS was an independent prognostic factor for progression-free-survival and overall-survival. Similar findings were observed with highest IPS for overall-survival in patients treated with everolimus. Conclusion: From our knowledge, it is the first time that a simple IPS could be useful to predict outcome for patients with metastatic pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors treated with everolimus or capecitabine and temozolomide.
