  • Title: Surgical Management of Pancreatic Neuroendocrine Tumors.
    Author: Liu JB, Baker MS.
    Journal: Surg Clin North Am; 2016 Dec; 96(6):1447-1468. PubMed ID: 27865287.
    Abstract:
    Pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors (PNETs) are a rare, heterogeneous group of neoplasms infamous for their endocrinopathies. Up to 90% of PNETs, however, are nonfunctional and are frequently detected incidentally on axial imaging during the evaluation of vague abdominal symptoms. Surgery remains the mainstay of therapy for patients diagnosed with both functional and nonfunctional PNETs. However, the multifaceted nature of PNETs challenges treatment decision making. In general, resection is recommended for patients with acceptable perioperative risk and amenable lesions.
