Somatostatin Analogs or Active Surveillance in Sporadic Non-Functioning Pancreatic Neuroendocrine Tumors
Introduction:
Non-functioning (NF), sporadic pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors (pNETs) have usually an indolent behavior, but sometimes show an unpredictable aggressiveness. Surgery is the first-choice for localized tumors >2 cm. Unresectable or metastatic lesions expressing somatostatin receptors (SSTRs) are treated with Somatostatin analogs (SSAs). No evidence of SSAs efficacy exists in tumors ≤2 cm, for which active surveillance has been proposed.

Epidemiological Characteristics of Neuroendocrine Tumors: A Retrospective Analysis of a Single Centre
Introduction:
Neuroendocrine tumors (NETs) are a small heterogeneous group of cancers, developing from the neuroendocrine system. NETs may include functional or non-functional tumors; moreover, they may be familial and have further associated tumors.

Diagnostic Accuracy of Endoscopic Ultrasound-Fine Needle Aspiration (EUS-FNA) in the Evaluation of Pancreatic Neuroendocrine Neoplasms (PNEN) Grading
Introduction:
Prognosis of pNENs depends on staging and grading, based on the cyto-histological Ki67 labelling; EUS-FNA is considered the gold standard technique to obtain it in pre-therapeutic setting
