#4292 Predictors based on the radiologic characteristics for aggressiveness of small (<20 mm) non-functioning pancreatic neuroendocrine tumours

Introduction: The management of small non-functioning PNETs remains controversial due to their heterogeneity. Results from some retrospective surgical reports found that a subset of small NF-PNETs may show aggressive behaviour, for which surgical resection is recommended.

#3255 The role of intraoperative ultrasound in pancreatic enucleation for pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors

Introduction: Pancreatic enucleation is an extreme pancreatic sparing procedure, characterized by the absence of dissection and reconstruction, minimal blood loss, but high rates of postoperative pancreatic fistula. Pancreatic enucleation is indicated for the treatment of insulinomas as well as small non-functioning pNETs. Intraoperative ultrasound is an essential tool for pancreatic enucleation.

#3249 Active surveillance as a treatment option for pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors in the context of MEN1

Introduction: Pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors include the second most common clinical manifestation of MEN1. Active surveillance has been proposed as a treatment option for patients with small gastrinomas as well as for MEN1 patients with small non-functioning pNETs.

#3048 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.

#2219 24 Hour Urinary 5-Hydroxyindoleacetic Acid Levels in Patients with Non-Functioning Pancreatic Neuroendocrine Tumors

Introduction: The secretion of urinary 5-Hydroxyindoleacetic Acid (u5-HIAA) by non-functioning PNETs (NF-PNET) has rarely been reported, and the data on the association between u5-HIAA levels and disease burden is scant.
