Results of Resection and Predictors of Outcome of Pancreatic Neuroendocrine Tumors

#222

Introduction: Pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors (PNET) are uncommon with the incidence increasing significantly over the last decade. Surgical resection remains the only therapeutic option.

Aim(s): To evaluate the survival and identify factors predicting outcome following resection of PNET.

Materials and methods: All the patients who underwent surgical resection of PNET between June 1992 and July 2009 were retrospectively analysed. The data was obtained from a prospectively maintained database. Patients’ demographics, clinico-pathological parameters, overall survival and the factors predicting survival were analysed.
