Compare the optimal TNM staging of resectable functional and non-functional pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors
Introduction:
At present, the European Neuroendocrine Tumor Society (ENETS) and the American Joint Committee on Cancer (AJCC) are two main tumor TNM staging systems. However, the ENETS and AJCC TNM staging systems are different in some aspects when applied to p-NETs.

Palliative Surgery in Advanced Small Intestinal Neuroendocrine Tumors
Introduction:
Small intestinal neuroendocrine tumours (SI-NETs) are known to develop mesenteric metastasis and fibrosis. Since this can induce intestinal obstruction, edema and ischaemia, prophylactic palliative resection of the primary tumour and mesenteric mass is often recommended in case of advanced disease but the evidence is disputable.
