#3984 The contribution of functional imaging in predicting the risk of recurrence after pancreatic surgery for neuroendocrine tumors

Introduction: Pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors (pNETs) are rare and heterogeneous, comprising 1 to 3% of all pancreatic neoplasms. The recurrence rate of non-metastatic pNETs varies, reaching up to 50% depending on the series, highlighting the difficulty in selecting candidates for surgery. However, there is no published data regarding the prognostic value of functional PET imaging combined with clinical and pathological characteristics.

#3977 Serum b-HCG as a biomarker in neuroendocrine tumors: A reconsideration of single-analyte approach

Introduction: Despite recent advances, neuroendocrine tumors (NETs) remain a challenging topic due to their diverse characteristics and the lack of suitable biomarkers. The shift to an omics-based approach and the utilization of statistical algorithms present an improvement over the traditional single-analyte strategy, albeit with its own drawbacks.

#3927 Prognostic role and predictors of lymph node involvement in pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors

Introduction: Pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors (PNETs) account for less than 2% of all pancreatic neoplasms. However, the incidence of PNETs has been steadily increasing in recent years, possibly because the frequent use of high-quality abdominal cross-sectional imaging increased the detection rate.

#3843 VIPoma presenting as chronic diarrhea in a 30-year-old Filipino female

Introduction: Pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors are rare neoplasms that arise in the endocrine tissues of the pancreas. They can secrete a variety of peptide hormones including insulin, gastrin, glucagon, and vasoactive intestinal peptide. Secretory tumors such as vasoactive intestinal polypeptides are rare neuroendocrine pancreatic neoplasms characterized by watery diarrhea, hypokalemia, and hypochlorhydria.
