Comparative analysis of post-pancreatic surgical complications in elderly versus younger patients with inactive neuroendocrine pancreatic tumours
Introduction:
The management of small, asymptomatic non-functional pancreatic neuroendocrine neoplasms (NF-pNENs) is contentious, with two main approaches: surgical resection and "watch-and-wait." Current guidelines recommend monitoring NF-pNENs under 2 cm based on retrospective data, although recent U.S. studies suggest improved survival with surgery for 1-2 cm NF-pNENs. Some suggest the "watch-and-wait" approach for older patients, though its efficacy is unclear.

Prognostic Factors for Recurrence of Sporadic Pancreatic Neuroendocrine Tumors After Surgical Resection
Introduction:
Pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors (PNET) are rare neoplasms with heterogeneous presentation. The diagnosis of malignancy is often difficult, and then further studies may contribute to improve prognosis criteria.
