Active surveillance as an option for small asymptomatic sporadic non-functioning pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors: Clinical practice

#3227

Introduction: Asymptomatic sporadic non-functioning small pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors are increasingly diagnosed. International guidelines suggest active surveillance for small asymptomatic non-functioning pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors.

Aim(s): This systematic review aimed to review the literature on the role of active surveillance in the treatment of small sporadic non-functioning asymptomatic pNETs < 2 cm in the current clinical practice.

Materials and methods: Electronic databases were searched with the appropriate search terms for the time period up to and including November 2020. Full publications, including clinical trials randomized or not, retrospective studies, case series, case reports that provided relevant data met inclusion criteria.
