Overview

The staging had been done according to American Joint Cancer Committee (AJCC) 7th edition 2010. Being a pancreatic neuroendocrine tumor, it is also staged by European Neuroendocrine Tumor Society (ENETS). In its new 8th edition of AJCC which is planned to be published on January 1, 2018; AJCC had developed a modified ENETS (mENETS) staging classification.

Staging

American Joint Cancer Committee (AJCC) 7th edition 2010 classification

The staging of malignant insulinoma being a pancreatic neuroendocrine tumor may be classified into several sub types based on American Joint Cancer Committee (AJCC) 7th edition 2010: [1][2]

Stage T N M
IA T1 N0 M0
IB T2 N0 M0
IIA T3 N0 M0
IIB T1-3 N1 M0
III T4 Any N M0
IV Any T Any N M1
AJCC 2010
T T1 <2 cm in greatest dimension
T2 >2 cm in greatest dimension
T3 Beyond the pancreas but without involvement of the superior mesenteric artery
T4 Involvement of the celiac axis or superior mesenteric artery (unresectable tumor)
N N0 No regional lymph node metastasis
N1 Regional lymph node metastasis
M M0 No distant metastasis
M1 Distant metastasis

European Neuroendocrine Tumor Society (ENETS) classification:

Being a pancreatic neuroendocrine tumor, it is also staged by European Neuroendocrine Tumor Society (ENETS) as: [1][2]

Stage T N M
I T1 N0 M0
IIA T2 N0 M0
IIB T3 N0 M0
IIIA T4 N0 M0
III B Any T N1 M0
IV Any T Any N M1
ENETS
T T1 Tumor limited to pancreas, <2 cm
T2 Tumor limited to pancreas, 2-4 cm
T3 >4cm, or invading the duodenum or common bile duct
T4 Tumor invades adjacent structures
N N0 No regional lymph node metastasis
N1 Regional lymph node metastasis
M M0 No distant metastasis
M1 Distant metastasis

WHO 2010 classification system

  • WHO classification system combined differentiation and grading characteristics to classify the belligerence of a pancreatic neuroendocrine tumor.
  • The aggressiveness of tumor was expressed in form of mitotic count and staining of a nuclear antigen called Ki-67: [3][4]
Grade of tumor Mitotic Count(Mitoses per 10 high powerfields) Expression of Ki 67
Grade 1 <2 ≤3%
Grade 2 2-10 3-20%
Grade 3 >20 >20%
  • Grade 1 and 2 tumors were classified as neuroendocrine neoplasm (NET) and grade 3 were classified as neuroendocrine carcinoma (NEC).
  • In its new 8th edition of AJCC which is planned to be published on January 1, 2018; AJCC had developed a modified ENETS (mENETS) staging classification:[1]
Stage T N M
IA T1 N0 M0
IB T2 N0 M0
IIA T3 N0 M0
IIB T1-3 N1 M0
III T4 Any N M0
IV Any T Any N M1
mENETS
T T1 Tumor limited to pancreas, <2 cm
T2 Tumor limited to pancreas, 2-4 cm
T3 >4cm, or invading the duodenum or common bile duct
T4 Tumor invades adjacent structures
N N0 No regional lymph node metastasis
N1 Regional lymph node metastasis
M M0 No distant metastasis
M1 Distant metastasis
