Abstract
Background Pancreatic neuroendocrine neoplasms (p-NENs) are relatively rare and highly heterogeneous. Dyslipidemia may be related to the risk of developing p-NENs, although dyslipidemia in patients with p-NENs is rarely reported. In this study, the clinical characteristics of p-NENs patients with different lipid levels and their prognostic value in p-NENs patients were evaluated.
Methods Patients (n=211) with p-NENs hospitalized at Jiangsu Neuroendocrine Tumor Centre of Jiangsu Province Hospital from December 2018 to December 2022 were enrolled. Clinical data related to p-NENs were collected. Based on the EGA database, the related lipoprotein, low-density lipoprotein receptor (LDLR) and high-density lipoprotein binding protein (HDLBP) mRNA in p-NENs and paratumoral tissues and the follow-up information of p-NENs were evaluated.
Results A total of 175 p-NENs patients ultimately met the inclusion criteria. The ki67 index was higher in p-NENs patients with elevated lipid with the proportion of≥5, and in those with AJCC stage III and stage IV than p-NENs patients with low-level lipid. In p-NENs patients, the expression of HDLBP mRNA was downregulated in p-NENs tissues compared to the paratumoral tissues. Survival analysis showed that serum lipids had no effect on the prognosis of p-NENs; however, high LDLR level p-NENs were at the risk of poor survival.
Conclusion Serum lipid level in p-NENs can affect the grading and staging, but the correlation with the prognosis of p-NENs is not significant. However, dyslipidemia may be a potential predictor of p-NENs.
