Distal Pancreatectomy, Pancreatoduodenectomy and Total Pancreatectomy for Pancreatic Neuroendocrine Tumors – Same Organ, Different Outcomes

1. Abstract

1.1. Aims: The relationship between extent of pancreatectomy and survival for the management of pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors (PNET) is unclear. We hypothesize that tumor biology and completeness of resection dictate outcome more so than extent of pancreatectomy.
