Duodenopancreatic Resections in Patients With Multiple Endocrine Neoplasia Type 1

Abstract

Major pancreatic procedures can be performed safely in most patients with MEN 1 and NETs. Because NETs are the most common MEN 1-related cause of death in the authors' kindreds, an aggressive surgical approach, including early intervention before malignant spread and major pancreatic resection where indicated, appears justified.
