Current status of Interventional Radiology in the management of Gastro-Entero-Pancreatic Neuroendocrine Tumours (GEP-NETs)

Gianluigi Orgera et al. Cardiovasc Intervent Radiol. 2015 Feb.

Abstract

Within the group of Gastro-Entero-Pancreatic Neuroendocrine tumours (GEP-NETs), several heterogeneous malignancies are included with a variety of clinical manifestations and imaging characteristics. Often these cases are inoperable and minimal invasive treatment offered by image-guided procedures appears to be the only option. Interventional radiology offers a valid solution in the management of primary and metastatic GEP-NETs. The purpose of this review article is to describe the current status of the role of Interventional Radiology in the management of GEP-NETs.
