#4255 Prognostic significance of nodal micrometastases in patients with non-functioning pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors (NF-PanNETs) – A survival analysis from a prospective observational study

Introduction: Nodal metastases (N+) are one of the most powerful predictors of disease recurrence after surgery for non-functioning pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors (NF-PanNETs). However, the prognostic role of nodal metastases

#4249 Factors associated with post-operative pancreatic insufficiency after distal pancreatectomy for localised non-functioning pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors (NF-PanNET)

Introduction: Pancreatic Neuroendocrine Tumors (pNETs) are rare neoplasms, often indolent in nature. Surgery is the backbone of curative treatment for localised panNETs. As the majority of these patients are cured by surgery, the development of long-term complications such as post-operative pancreatic insufficiency is critical.

#3818 Somatostatin analogues or active surveillance in sporadic non-functioning pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors

Introduction: Non-functioning (NF), sporadic, G1-G2 pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors (PanNETs) usually display an indolent course. Surgery is the first-choice treatment for localized tumors >2 cm. Unresectable or metastatic PanNETs expressing somatostatin receptors (SSTRs) are treated with somatostatin analogues (SSAs). The PROMID and the CLARINET studies proved the SSA antiproliferative effect in advanced gastroenteropancreatic neuroendocrine tumors (GEP-NETs). The standard treatment for patients with PanNETs ≤2cm is active surveillance (AS). Yet no evidence of the value of SSA treatment exist in such patient population.

#3584 Nodal recurrence after curative surgery for non-functioning pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors: A retrospective cohort study

Introduction: Nodal recurrence occurs in a significant proportion of patients submitted to curative surgery for non-functioning pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors (NF-PanNETs). However, its determinants have been poorly investigated.
