Abstract

Functional pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors (PNET) are uncommon neoplasms that often present with endocrine hypersecretory syndromes. Patients with underlying genetic disorders, especially multiple endocrine neoplasia type I and von Hippel-Lindau syndrome, are at an increased risk for developing PNETs. Surgical resection is the primary treatment for functional PNETs. However, the decision for surgery depends on multiple factors, including patient functional status and comorbidities, efficacy of medical management of the hypersecretory syndrome, malignant potential of the tumor, size and location of the tumor, presence of metastatic disease, and presence of a genetic tumor syndrome. The extent of surgical resection depends on the size, location, and malignant potential of a tumor and may include enucleation or anatomic resections, such as pancreaticoduodenectomy or distal pancreatectomy. In patients with metastatic disease, tumor debulking plays a key role in aiding the medical management of the hypersecretory syndrome. Interventional ablative and embolization procedures assist in the complex management of unresectable disease. Enhanced recovery after surgery pathways are employed by high-volume centers to help standardize postoperative care.
