Recurrence and metastatic potential in Type 1 gastric neuroendocrine neoplasms.

Despite the relatively high prevalence of G2 tumours, endoscopically and/or surgically treated GNEN1 remains an indolent disease with a low metastatic propensity and no disease-specific mortality reported in our series. Many patients though will experience local recurrence, warranting long-term endoscopic surveillance with s-gastrin biomarker being a complementary tool in recurrence prediction.
