Abstract:
Pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors(pNETs)have a low prevalence,and may be func-tional as secreting biologically active substance or nonfunctional. With the increased understanding of this disease,new technologies are being developed for diagnosis and treatment. However,surgical excision re-mains the primary therapy for localized tumors and the cure rate is not ideal yet. In choosing the appropri-ate therapy for locally advanced/ metastatic pNETs,medical management strategy should be made in a multidisciplinary context. In addition to chemotherapy,there have been significant advances in targeted mo-lecular therapy.
