Abstract
- Pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors (PNETs) are rare, but the frequency of detection is constantly increasing due to recent advances in diagnostic technology. Since liver metastasis (LM) of PNETs is highly correlated with long-term survival, active treatment is important. Liver-directed treatment is recommended for patients with unresectable LM from PNET if symptomatic or progressing despite medical management. Liverdirected intervention treatment, including locally ablative techniques and hepatic arterial embolotherapy has a vital role in controlling symptoms and improving overall survival rates. The purpose of this article is to address the recent advances in liverdirected intervention treatments for the treatment of LM of PNETs.
