Abstract

Abstract Prognostic variables in patients with gastrointestinal carcinoid tumour were studied with a view to identifying those most likely to benefit from aggressive therapy. A total of 188 patients were studied; the median follow-up of those surviving was 72 months. On univariate analysis variables of prognostic significance were sex (P <0·01), site of the primary tumour (P <0·01), depth of invasion (P <0·001), tumour size (P <0·005), presence of lymph node (P <0·001) or liver (P <0·001) metastases, mode of discovery (P <0·001) and operative intent (P <0·001). On multivariate analysis the variables independently predictive of death from disease were sex (women have a better prognosis) and presence of metastases at the time of diagnosis.
