Surgery for NETs - GI, Liver, and Pancreas 

Thank you so much for this video

Thank you doctors.

Very helpful presentation 👍

Very best lecture

But for the accent of the second speaker being hard to comprehend the rest of the talk is very useful to all the English speaking medics.

I had a very very very large heterogeneous mass in my liver took over entire left lobe of the liver and partially right. It metastasized everywhere the prrt treatment is what got me still here. It started the head of my pancreas

Small bowel ( terminal ileum) is the most common site followed by Lungs and pancreas. Most are nonfunctional, multiple and difficult to diagnose. Carcinoid syndrome is even less common and is due to liver mets usually multiple. Pathologically grade 1 means well differentiated with Ki < 2, G2 are moderately differentiated with Ki 3-20, and G3 mean NE carcinoma with Ki > 20.

Thank you for this video, I have a PNet found in 2007 but symptoms since the late 90’s, mine was 2.5c at finding but with reduction of Endocrine disruptors has shrunk to 1.6c. Mine is in the start of the body but everything after is atrophied. You were the first one to talk about the atrophy condition that can happen. I have been processing and deciding if I should pursue surgery. My conditions being I only want laparoscopic surgery and only if my spleen can be preserved.

my wife has a 2.7 cm. pNET at the tail and they will do a resection but ALSO take out her healthy spleen and gall bladder. Why is that the "Gold Standard" protocol?

My sister had a cancer operation in 2017 in the small intestine (jejunum) (about 80 centimeters were removed from the small intestine). She has now 2020 NET (in the liver and multiple metastases in the abdominal wall (peritoneal carcinomatous). Her therapy since March 2020 is a monthly SSA injection. No biopsy has been done until now, except for the one from 2017. Her appointment for the biopsy is for June 2020. I don't know if that's right. Someone can clear it up for me. I'm very worried, her metastases have increased since February of this year and she hasn't started her real therapy, which will be only palliative, I think.

My carcinoid cancer was in the Aisle of Vater.Affecting my small bowel snd pancreas and now blood sugar I chose not to have Whipple surgery but take Lanroetide for the last 3 years. It took 7 months and MANY MRIs and scans and blood work ti find the tumors The tumors are Very rare and was very difficult to find . My ONCOLOGIST is with the START CENTER IN SAN ANTONIO TX MY Gastro doctor is the one who finally found the tumors I am doing ok with 2 insulins trying to control my blood sugar Pancreas is functioning at 50 % I enjoy your posts
