Excerpt

As the incidence of gastroenteropancreatic (GEP) neuroendocrine tumors (NETs) continues to rise, surgical oncologists are becoming more and more familiar with the complexities of managing these patients. Many will present with metastatic disease, predominantly in the liver, but also in bone and retroperitoneal and extra-abdominal lymph nodes. The most important initial therapeutic step in most patients is a good operation, with removal of the primary tumor and regional lymph nodes. Metastatic disease to the liver is often the biggest threat to longevity, so cytoreduction of these lesions is also an important consideration for management. …
