Meta-Analysis of Recurrence after Curative Surgery of Pancreatic Neuroendocrine Tumors.
#1674
Introduction: Follow-up after curative surgery for pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors (pNET) is designed to detect recurrence, however reliable recurrence rates are difficult to deduct from literature. Without this knowledge, appropriate follow-up regimens and indications for adjuvant treatment remain unclear.
Aim(s): To gain insight into recurrence after curative resection of grade 1 or 2 pNET.
Materials and methods: Literature search was performed on studies reporting recurrence after complete resection of grade 1 or 2 pNET without distant metastases or hereditary syndromes. Excluded were studies with less than 20 patients, patients with R2 resection or (neo)adjuvant therapy.
