| Core Tip |
Insulinomas are rare but potentially malignant tumors. The only sure sign of malignancy is metastases present at diagnosis. Long-term survival of patients with malignant insulinoma is poor; however, newly available agents and approaches, are reassuring. Nonetheless, it is important to distinguish between benign and malignant insulinomas early, as well as follow the non-functioning pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors and plan the appropriate treatment and follow-up. Important initial parameters include 2-3-fold higher insulin, proinsulin, and C-peptide levels, early-onset hypoglycemia during the 72-h fasting test, and high chromogranin A from the biochemical aspect, earlier recognition of neuroglycopenic symptoms from the clinical aspect, and tumor size exceeding 3 cm and higher tumor grade (G2 or G3) from the pathohistological standpoint. Molecular genetic advances are still insufficient in adding to the individualization of treatment and prognosis, but α-internexin and chromosomal instability, where available, might add to early recognition of malignancy. |
