Well‐Differentiated, Non‐Functional, Non‐Ampullary Duodenal Neuroendocrine Tumors: Toward Defining Evaluation and Management

Abstract

Non-functional, non-ampullary dNETs, particularly those with MP invasion, have a propensity to metastasize to regional LNs. However, these neoplasms appear to have a favorable prognosis. Further evaluation of preoperative imaging is required to better determine most appropriate clinical staging. A suggested workup and management strategy for prospective evaluation is proposed.
