The impact of failure to achieve symptom control after resection of functional neuroendocrine tumors: An 8‐institution study from the US Neuroendocrine Tumor Study Group
Abstract:Background: The goals of resection of functional neuroendocrine tumors (NETs) are two-fold: Oncological benefit and symptom control. The interaction between the two is not well understood.Methods: All patients with functional NETs of the pancreas, duodenum, and ampulla who underwent curative-intent resection between 2000 and 2016 were identified.Using Cox regression analysis, factors associated with reduced recurrence-free survival (RFS) were identified.Results: Two-hundred and thirty patients underwent curati… Show more
