Comparison of Diagnostic Methods in the Evaluation of Pancreatic and Duodenal Gastrinomas

#953

Introduction: Gastrinomas are neuroendocrine tumors, mainly located in the duodenum or the pancreas, that secrete gastrin and cause a clinical syndrome known as ZES.

Aim(s): To enhance the effectiveness of diagnosis and reduce the time and effort in reaching the correct diagnosis.

Materials and methods: We evaluated the sensitivity of the most important tumor markers (CgA, gastrin and NSE), as well as the main Imaging modalities used for diagnosis e.g. (USG, CT, MRI, SRS and EUS) in 29 patients with pancreatic gastrinomas and 27 patients with duodenal gastrinomas, confirmed by immunohistochemistry and time in reaching diagnosis.
