| Core Tip |
We evaluated the prognoses of pancreatic neuroendocrine tumor Grade 1 (NET G1) patients without surgery. A total of 8 patients who were diagnosed with NET G1, with an observation period of more than 6 mo until surgery or without surgery, were recruited. The observation period for the five cases with surgery ranged from 6-80 mo, and tumor growth was observed in one case. In contrast, the observation period for the three cases without surgery ranged from 17-54 mo, and tumor growth was not observed. Our experience thus includes certain NET G1 patients who were followed up without surgery. |
