PG - 42-52 LID - 10.1177/1457496919900417 [doi] AB - BACKGROUND AND AIMS: Pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors (PNET) arise from uncontrolled proliferation of neuroendocrine cell and further genetic alterations that may induce hormone secretion such as glucagon/insulin/gastrin/VIP. Their incidence is rapidelly growing, especially because of the frequent incidental diagnosis of small asymptomatic non-functionnal neuroendocrine tumors with the widespread use of cross-sectional imaging. The vast majority of pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors are sporadic but up to 5%-10% of them arise from genetic syndromes, the main one being Multiple Endocrine Neopalsm type 1 (MEN1). Appropriate management of patients with PNET is a complex challenge for surgeons, and require extensive medical collaboration. This review aims to summarize major and recent updates regarding the medico-surgical management of PNETs. MATERIAL AND METHODS: Review of pertinent English language literature. RESULTS: This article provides a concise summary of the clinical presentation, diagnosis, surgical management, alternative treatments and follow up of PNETs. CONCLUSION: PNET are a rare, heterogeneous group of neoplasms with a generally favorable prognosis at least compared to pancreatic adenocarcinoma. Surgical resection is the cornerstone of their management, particularly for localized disease, and should always be discussed in multidisciplinary tumor board.
