Pattern and Clinical Predictors of Lymph Node Involvement in Pancreatic Neuroendocrine Tumors (PanNETs)

#414

Introduction: Pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors (PanNETs) are often indolent neoplasms without pathological lymph node (LN) metastasis (pN1).

Aim(s): To construct a model for predicting the risk of pN1 prior to surgical resection.

Materials and methods: The databases from the Surgical Department of the University of Verona and the Beaujon Hospital were queried. Data of 194 patients with resected (R0 or R1), nonfunctioning PanNET (1993-2009) were reviewed. Multiple logistic regression analysis was performed
