Abstract:
Pancreatic neuroendocrine tumor (pNET)is a rare type of pancreatic tumors.The incidence of pNET shows a gradually increas-ing trend in recent years.The most common organ of distant metastases is the liver.Surgical resection is still the optimal treatment for resect-able,well -differentiated liver metastases with no evidence of extrahepatic spread.For unresectable patients,a combination of multiple mo-dalities,such as transarterial chemoembolization,radiofrequency ablation,systemic chemotherapy,and molecular targeted therapy,can pro-long the survival time of patients.Liver transplantation should be strictly evaluated on an individual basis.
