PG - 1205-11 AB - BACKGROUND: The management of multiple endocrine neoplasia, type 1 (MEN-1) pancreatoduodenal neuroendocrine neoplasms (NENs) is controversial. An aggressive surgical approach is intended to control the functional syndromes and malignant potential for nodal or distant metastasis. METHODS: The results of treating 39 patients with MEN-1 pancreatoduodenal NENs over a 35-year period are available from chart reviews and patient interviews. This study focuses on pattern of disease, disease recurrence, and long-term functional outcomes. RESULTS: Between 1967 and 2003, 39 patients ages 19 to 58 years (mean age, 37) had abdominal operations for their pancreatoduodenal NENs: 26 with Zollinger-Ellison syndrome, 4 with hypoglycemia, 3 with both Zollinger-Ellison syndrome and hypoglycemia, and 6 with nonfunctional neoplasms. Fifteen of these 39 patients had malignant disease on initial abdominal operation; 24 of 39 patients have not required abdominal reoperation, 17 of whom have available follow-up data. Of these 17 patients, 11 have biochemical evidence of disease recurrence (increased serum concentrations of gastrin, insulin, or pancreatic polypeptide), while 6 have no biochemical evidence of recurrence. A total of 30 abdominal reoperations were performed in 15 patients; 14 of 15 patients undergoing 1 or more reoperations developed evident malignant disease by their most recent operation. Nine of 13 reoperative patients with follow-up data have evidence of disease recurrence. Functional outcomes available in 20 patients showed that 10 patients require insulin and that 6 require oral hypoglycemic medications. Ninety percent have no abdominal pain or nausea/vomiting, while 4 are unable to return to work secondary to this disease. CONCLUSIONS: Treatment of MEN-1 pancreatoduodenal NENs is met with frequent recurrence and some treatment-related morbidity and mortality. Most patients (22 of 39) eventually demonstrated malignant growth, but, with this strategy, few died of this disease.
