Number and Localization of Positive Lymph Nodes Correlate with Recurrence in Nonfunctioning Pancreatic Neuroendocrine Neoplasms: Implications for Surgery, Staging and Surveillance

#1514

Introduction: Lymph Nodes involvement is a powerful prognostic factor for nonfunctioning pancreatic neuroendocrine neoplasms (NF-PNEN)

Aim(s): To assess the prognostic value of the number and localization of positive lymph-nodes (PLN)

Materials and methods: Among 370 pts submitted to surgery for PNEN (2000-2014) we selected those who underwent radical (R0 or R1) pancreaticoduodenectomy (PD) for NF- PNEN with no distant metastases (M0) or inherited syndrome
