Abstract: Objective To assess the expression of Ki-67 in gastroenteropancreatic neuroendocrine tumors(GEP-NETs) and analyze the relationship between TNM stage, pathological grading and prognosis. Methods The clinicopathological features of 110 patients with GEP-NETs treated in the first Affiliated Hospital of Nanjing Medical University from January 2005 to December 2010 were retrospectively reviewed. The expression of Ki-67 in tumor specimens was detected by immunohistochemistry method. According to Ki-67 proliferation index, the pathological grading was carried including G1, G2 and G3.The mortality rate, median overall survival (mOS), 2-year survival rate and the risk for death of different TNM stages and histological grades were analyzed. Results Seventy-eight patients were available for follow-up. The mortality rate of patients with stage Ⅰ, Ⅱ, Ⅲ and Ⅳ were 8.7%, 11.5%, 36.0% and 75.0%; mOS were 68.0, 49.0,39.0 and 24.0 months; 2-year survival rates were 91.7%, 85.7%, 61.9% and 50.0%. The mortality rate of patients with G1, G2 and G3 were 9.4%, 50.0% and 55.6%; mOS were 73.0, 28.0 and 28.0 months; 2-year survival rates were 91.7%, 42.9% and 50.0%.There were significant differences among different TNM stages and pathological grades on mOS and 2-year survival rate (P<0.01). The risks of death of stage Ⅲ and stage Ⅳ increased relative to stage Ⅰ(P<0.05), as well as G2 and G3 relative to G1(P<0.01). Conclusion The GEP-NETs with later TNM stage or higher Ki-67 proliferation index showed worse prognosis.
