Overview

  • There is no established system for the classification of [disease name].

OR

  • [Disease name] may be classified according to [classification method] into [number] subtypes/groups: [group1], [group2], [group3], and [group4].

OR

  • [Disease name] may be classified into [large number > 6] subtypes based on [classification method 1], [classification method 2], and [classification method 3].
  • [Disease name] may be classified into several subtypes based on [classification method 1], [classification method 2], and [classification method 3].

OR

  • Based on the duration of symptoms, [disease name] may be classified as either acute or chronic.

OR

  • If the staging system involves specific and characteristic findings and features:
  • According to the [staging system + reference], there are [number] stages of [malignancy name] based on the [finding1], [finding2], and [finding3]. Each stage is assigned a [letter/number1] and a [letter/number2] that designate the [feature1] and [feature2].

OR

  • The staging of [malignancy name] is based on the [staging system].

OR

  • There is no established system for the staging of [malignancy name].

Classification

  • Insulinoma may be classified according to malignant potential into 2 sub-types:
    • Benign
    • Malignant
      • 90% of insulinoma are benign in nature while 10% has a malignant potential to invade adjacent soft tissues or structures. The malignant type is mostly associated with MEN 1 syndrome.They also have a recurrence rate which is higher in those with MEN1 (21% at 10 and 20 years) than without it(5% at 10 and 7% at 20 years).[1] In one of the recent research papers, the recuurence was described as 4 times more common in individuals with MEN 1.[2]
  • Insulinoma is also classified into 2 subtypes based on the number of tumor(s):
    • Solitary
    • Multiple
      • 90% of insulinoma are solitary while 10% can be multiple in number
  • Previously insulinoma was classified into 2 subtypes based on hormonal level as determined by radioimmunoassay[3]:
    • Group A of abundant B cells with trabecular arrangement and uniform insulin immunofluorescence
    • Group B of scarce B cells with medullary arrangement and irregular immunofluorescence
  • Insulinoma being a pancreatic neuroendocrine tumor may be classified/staged into several subtypes based on American Joint Cancer Committee(AJCC) 7th edition 2010 [4][5] :
Stage T N M
IA T1 N0 M0
IB T2 N0 M0
IIA T3 N0 M0
IIB T1-3 N1 M0
III T4 Any N M0
IV Any T Any N M1
AJCC 2010
T T1 <2 cm in greatest dimension
T2 >2 cm in greatest dimension
T3 Beyond the pancreas but without involvement of the superior mesentric artery
T4 Involvement of the celiac axis or superior mesenteric artery(unresectable tumor)
N N0 No regional lymph node metastasis
N1 Regional lymph node metastasis
M M0 No distant metastasis
M1 Distant metastasis


  • Being a pancreatic neuroendocrine tumor, it is also staged by European Neuroendocrine Tumor Society (ENETS)as [4][5]:
Stage T N M
I T1 N0 M0
IIA T2 N0 M0
IIB T3 N0 M0
IIIA T4 N0 M0
III B Any T N1 M0
IV Any T Any N M1
ENETS
T T1 Tumor limited to pancreas,<2 cm
T2 Tumor limited to pancreas,2-4 cm
T3 >4cm, or invading the duodenum or common bile duct
T4 Tumor invades adjacent structures
N N0 No regional lymph node metastasis
N1 Regional lymph node metastasis
M M0 No distant metastasis
M1 Distant metastasis
  • In its new 8th edition of AJCC which is planned to be published on January 1, 2018; recent research[4] had developed a modified ENETS(mENETS) staging classification:
Stage T N M
IA T1 N0 M0
IB T2 N0 M0
IIA T3 N0 M0
IIB T1-3 N1 M0
III T4 Any N M0
IV Any T Any N M1
mENETS
T T1 Tumor limited to pancreas,<2 cm
T2 Tumor limited to pancreas,2-4 cm
T3 >4cm, or invading the duodenum or common bile duct
T4 Tumor invades adjacent structures
N N0 No regional lymph node metastasis
N1 Regional lymph node metastasis
M M0 No distant metastasis
M1 Distant metastasis
