Excerpt
The European Neuroendocrine Tumor Society (ENETS) guidelines recommend resection of neuroendocrine liver metastasis (NELM) when NELM originate from well- or moderately differentiated primary tumors and when at least 90% of the tumor burden can be safely removed.
1 Although surgical resection is the mainstay of treatment for patients with resectable NELM, up to 70–80% of patients with NELM will relapse or experience disease progression following liver resection.

4 Therefore, there is a need for better risk stratification and accurate prediction of recurrence among patients who undergo curative-intent resection for NELM. By utilizing a large international, multi-institutional cohort, we sought to develop and validate a nomogram to estimate patient prognosis after liver resection for NELM.
