Core Tip |
Neuroendocrine tumors (NETs) are uncommon but increasingly recognized gastrointestinal neoplasms. Management of NETs requires full understanding of tumor size, depth of invasion, lymphadenopathy, and location within the gastrointestinal tract. Small NETs can be removed by endoscopic techniques, while NETs > 2 centimeters typically require surgery. For tumors 11-20 mm in size, careful evaluation can identify which NETs may be managed with endoscopic resection. Endoscopic submucosal dissection has been increasingly used for treatment of luminal NETs. However, enthusiasm for endoscopic resection must be tempered with respect for the more definitive curative results afforded by surgical treatment with more advanced lesions. |
