Abstract:Background: This study aimed to summarize the surgical and therapeutic activities of non-functional pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors (NF-PanNETs) and perform survival analyses of a 15-year single-institutional cohort of NF-PanNETs. Methods: In total, 1001 patients with neuroendocrine neoplasms treated at Fudan University Shanghai Cancer Center were screened for inclusion, and 509 patients with NF-PanNETs from 2006 to 2020 were included. For time trend analyses, the 15-year study period was randomly divided int… Show more
“…PanNETs are highly heterogeneous and are histopathologically divided into well-differentiated PanNETs and poorly differentiated pancreatic neuroendocrine carcinomas (PanNECs) 3 . PanNECs are much more aggressive than PanNETs.…”
