Pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors: biology, diagnosis, and treatment
Pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors (PNETs), a group of endocrine tumors arising in the pancreas, are among the most common neuroendocrine tumors. The genetic causes of familial and sporadic PNETs are somewhat understood, but their molecular pathogenesis remains unknown. Most PNETs are indolent but have malignant potential. The biological behavior of an individual PNET is unpredictable; higher tum...

They are classified as functional or non-functional tumors according to the presence of associated clinical symptoms. The majority are non-functional tumors. For classification and staging, the World Health Organization 2010 classification system is the most commonly acc...
متن کاملDiagnosis and treatment of neuroendocrine lung tumors.
Pulmonary neuroendocrine tumors (PNT) encompass a broad spectrum of tumors including typical carcinoid (TC) and atypical (AC) tumors, large-cell neuroendocrine carcinoma (LCNEC) and small-cell lung cancer (SCLC). Although no variety can be considered benign, AC and TC have a much lower metastatic potential, are usually diagnosed in early stages, and most are candidates for surgical treatment. S...
متن کاملLaparoscopic Surgical Treatment of Neuroendocrine Pancreatic Tumors
Pancreatic Endocrine Tumors (PNETs) represent a rare, but important subset of pancreatic neoplasms. These tumors account for 2–4% of all clinically detected pancreatic tumors. Their overall incidence is approximately 1 of 100 000 people per year [1,2]. PNETs consist of single or multiple benign or malignant neoplasms and are associated with multiple endocrine neoplasia type 1 (MEN1) in 10– 20% ...
