Surgery for GEP-NETs

Ulrich Knigge et al. Best Pract Res Clin Gastroenterol. 2012 Dec.

Abstract

Surgery is the only treatment that may cure the patient with gastroentero-pancreatic (GEP) neuroendocrine tumours (NET) and neuroendocrine carcinomas (NEC) and should always be considered as first line treatment if R0/R1 resection can be achieved. The surgical and interventional procedures for GEP-NET are accordingly described below. Life-long follow-up should be performed in almost all patients at a specialized NET center.
