Based on these results, either appendectomy is sufficient or sometimes a further treatment protocol can be needed.

Appendix tumors usually present with acute appendicitis symptoms. Despite re-operation with right hemicolectomy (RHC) being required in the treatment of adenocarcinoma cases, appendectomy provides adequate treatment in most cases with NET and LAMN. With these tumors, which usually have a benign prognosis, it is important to perform the necessary screening in the postoperative period and not to interrupt follow-up.<\/jats:p>\n
