Resection of Metastatic Pancreatic Neuroendocrine Tumors After Induction System Treatment

Resection of Metastatic Pancreatic Neuroendocrine Tumors After Induction System Treatment: Real World Study

This study is to evaluate the efficacy and tolerability of surgery in selecting patients who can benefit from the synchronous resection of primary pancreatic neuroendocrine tumor and liver metastasis after induction systemic treatment. The willing of participants decide who receive surgery and who will continue to receive standard systemic treatment.

system treatments of metastatic PanNET include SSA, sunitinib, mTOR inhibitor and chemotherapy. For patients achieved PR/SD after system treatment, resection of primary tumor and metastasis maybe a better way to decline tumor burden and get longer survival. this real world study is focused on this group of patients with metastatic PanNET, and to evaluate the efficacy and tolerability of surgery in selecting patients who can benefit from the synchronous resection of primary pancreatic neuroendocrine tumor and liver metastasis after induction systemic treatment.
