Pancreatic Neuroendocrine Tumours

Abstract

© 2017 Hong Kong College of Radiologists. Neuroendocrine tumours (NETs) are a heterogeneous group of malignancies that can arise in different organs. Although NETs account for only 0.5% of all malignancies, their incidence has significantly increased in recent years. In the Asia Pacific region, the most common site of primary NETs is the pancreas. Many new treatment modalities have been shown to be effective in treating NETs. This study re views the diagnosis, management, and prognosis of pancreatic NETs.
