Abstract

Molecular genetic diagnosis of MEN-1 and new therapeutic developments such as endoscopic surgery make sufficient imaging procedures in the management of neuroendocrine pancreatic tumors mandatory. Besides valid detection and exact localization, endosonography provides criteria for benign and malignant tumors and thus may be helpful in planning therapeutic strategies.
