Correlation between histological classification and best response to first-line chemotherapy.
| Best response | |||||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Overall | P value∗ | Pancreatic | GI | ||||
| PD (%) | SD + PR (%) | PD (%) | SD + PR (%) | PD (%) | SD + PR (%) | ||
| Overall | 3 (27.3) | 8 (72.7) | 1 (20.0) | 4 (80.0) | 2 (33.3) | 4 (66.7) | |

| NEC G3 | 1 (33.3) | 4 (50.0) | 0 (0.0) | 2 (50.0) | 1 (50.0) | 2 (50.0) | |
PD: progressive disease: SD: stable disease; PR: partial response; GI: gastrointestinal; NET: neuroendocrine tumor; NEC: neuroendocrine carcinoma. ∗P-value was calculated on the overall number of patients.
