Surgical treatment of pancreatic endocrine tumors in multiple endocrine neoplasia type 1

چکیده
Surgical approaches to pancreatic endocrine tumors associated with multiple endocrine neoplasia type 1 may differ greatly from those applied to sporadic pancreatic endocrine tumors. Presurgical diagnosis of multiple endocrine neoplasia type 1 is therefore crucial to plan a proper intervention. Of note, hyperparathyroidism/multiple endocrine neoplasia type 1 should be surgically treated before pancreatic endocrine tumors/multiple endocrine neoplasia type 1 resection, apart from insulinoma. Non-functioning pancreatic endocrine tumors/multiple endocrine neoplasia type 1 >1 cm have a high risk of malignancy and should be treated by a pancreatic resection associated with lymphadenectomy. The vast majority of patients with gastrinoma/multiple endocrine neoplasia type 1 present with tumor lesions at the duodenum, so the surgery of choice is subtotal or total pancreatoduodenectomy followed by regional lymphadenectomy. The usual surgical treatment for insulinoma/multiple endocrine neoplasia type 1 is distal pancreatectomy up to the mesenteric vein with or without spleen preservation, associated with enucleation of tumor lesions in the pancreatic head. Surgical procedures for glucagonomas, somatostatinomas, and vipomas/ multiple endocrine neoplasia type 1 are similar to those applied to sporadic pancreatic endocrine tumors. Some of these surgical strategies for pancreatic endocrine tumors/multiple endocrine neoplasia type 1 still remain controversial as to their proper extension and timing. Furthermore, surgical resection of single hepatic metastasis secondary to pancreatic endocrine tumors/multiple endocrine neoplasia type 1 may be curative and even in multiple liver metastases surgical resection is possible. Hepatic trans-arterial chemo-embolization is usually associated with surgical resection. Liver transplantation may be needed for select cases. Finally, pre-surgical clinical and genetic diagnosis of multiple endocrine neoplasia type 1 syndrome and localization of multiple endocrine neoplasia type 1 related tumors are crucial for determining the best surgical strategies in each individual case with pancreatic endocrine 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% ...

Multiple endocrine neoplasia-1 (MEN-1) is an autosomal dominant inherited syndrome that occurs due to inactivating mutations of the MEN1 gene locus, coding for a tumor-suppressor protein, menin. The components of MEN-1 are hyperparathyroidism due to multiple parathyroid adenomas, pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors, and pituitary adenomas, in addition to some less common neoplastic manifestations....

The pancreatic endocrine tumors are heterogeneous group of pancreatic neoplastic growths that can be biologically active in nearly one third of cases; these tumors represent 1-2% of pancreatic neoplasia [1]. Traditionally, these tumors have been named after their active biological secretions, such as insulinoma, gastrinoma and others. In 2011 Mussig et al. [2] reported pancreatic endocrine tumo...
