Resumen
GUZMAN, Yenny Fernanda; LOPEZ, Rocío del Pilar; VERA, Alonso y GONZALEZ-DEVIA, Deyanira. Tools for the diagnostic approach of pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors. rev. colomb. cir. [online]. 2018, vol.33, n.1, pp.79-99. ISSN 2011-7582. https://doi.org/10.30944/20117582.50.
Background:
Pancreatic Neuroendocrine Tumors (nNET) are rare and heterogeneous. However, the incidence has increased worldwide, and the newer diagnostic methods and treatment have improved survival. They have a more favorable prognosis than pancreatic adenocarcinoma, but recognition and overall diagnostic methods are complex and require a trained multidisciplinary team.
Aim:
To update the clinical, pathological, imaging, genetic and hormonal evaluation based on the available evidence. To provide tools and recommendations for different clinical scenarios.
Coclusions:
The incidence of pNET in the last 40 years has increased by more than 600% and corresponds to the second pancreatic neoplasia with a high mortality rate.
