Their management, whether an appendectomy alone is an adequate treatment or whether a right hemicolectomy is indicated, is still under debate. The metastatic potential of GCAC is similar to that of classic appendiceal carcinoids and depends on the tumor size and the mitosis rate. Therefore, some authors advocate a simple appendectomy, not expanding beyond the appendix adventitia, for selected patients with tumors less than 1 cm in diameter with a low mitosis rate ( |
