Popis: Background: Due to improvements in diagnostic technology, the incidence of gastrointestinal neuroendocrine neoplasms has increased gradually. Therefore, it is important to understand their clinical manifestations and management. The aims of this study were to investigate the clinical features of gastrointestinal neuroendocrine neoplasms and to evaluate the outcomes of patients in our institute.Methods: Between April 1965 and December 2020, patients with a diagnosis of gastric neuroendocrine neoplasms undergoing surgery in our institute were recruited. Clinical data were collected retrospectively.Results: Twenty-four gastric neuroendocrine neoplasm patients were recruited. Ten patients had lymphovascular invasion and seven patients had lymph node metastasis. There was a significant difference in the overall survival rate between those with and without lymph node metastasis. The significant risk factor for lymph node metastasis was lymphatic invasion.Conclusions: Positive lymph node metastasis influenced overall survival. Lymphatic invasion was the most important risk factor for lymph node metastasis.
