The Role of Primary Tumor Resection in Patients With Pancreatic Neuroendocrine Tumors With Liver Metastases

Abstract

Our study suggested that primary tumor resection in pancreatic neuroendocrine patients with liver metastases could result in a longer survival time. Primary tumor resection with synchronous liver metastasis resection was not related to a better survival benefit. This treatment strategy may routinely be taken into consideration in these patients.
