Genetic Analysis of Small Well-differentiated Pancreatic Neuroendocrine Tumors Identifies Subgroups With Differing Risks of Liver Metastases
18 Oct 2018
Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study was to investigate the key molecular alterations in small primary pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors (PanNETs) associated with the development of liver metastases. BACKGROUND: Well-differentiated PanNETs with small size are typically indolent; however, a limited subset metastasize to the liver. METHODS: A total of 87 small primary PanNETs (<3 cm), including 32 metastatic cases and...
