Abstract:
Neuroendocrine carcinoma of the pancreas is uncommon in clinic,which has a low malignancy,maintains indolent patterns of growth,and has a good long-term prognosis.However,because of its atypical clinical manifestation,its delayed presentation often results in distant metastasis,in which the liver is the most common site.Currently,the treatment of pancreatic neuroendocrine liver metastasis is limited and requires a diverse and multidisciplinary combination of therapy.This manuscript will discuss the current status of treating pancreatic neuroendocrine carcinoma liver metastasis.
