Long-term treatment of neuroendocrine tumor of the pancreas

Abstract

Most neuroendocrine tumors (NET) grow slower than other epithelial malignant neoplasms, but they can be aggressive and resistant to treatment. NET of the pancreas account for only 0.55% in the structure of these formations. From this point of view, we present the description of a clinical case and the treatment of a NET of the pancreas. It demonstrates the possibility of long-term combined treatment of NET of this localization.
