Who can take part

You may be able to join if

  • Histologically proven digestive CNE on biopsy, (the WHO 2017 classification: poorly differentiated and Ki 67 > 20%),
  • Patients with localized CNE, without metastasis (computed tomography [CT], thoraco-abdominopelvic CT scan [TAP] according to RECIST 1.1; examinations performed no later than 21 days before starting the study treatment, possible locoregional lymph node involvement defined according to the TNM classification),
  • Positron emission tomography (PET) and CT for lymph node status and elimination of secondary visceral and/or bone disorders,
  • Resectable tumor, according to the consensus decision made during local multidisciplinary surgical consultation meeting,
  • Age ≥ 18 years
  • For female patients of childbearing potential, negative pregnancy test within 7 days before starting the study treatment. Men and women are required to use a reliable and adequate birth control during the study (if applicable) during the period of treatment and during 6 months from the last treatment administration

You likely can't join if

  • Well-differentiated NEC, whatever the grade
  • Metastatic disease
  • Cancer of unknown primary
  • Organ failure that does not allow chemotherapy treatment
  • History of invasive malignacy disease within 5 years prior to the study except for cutaneous basal cell carcinoma and uterine cancer in situ
  • Tumor with a mixed component (component accounts for ≥ 30%),
