[SURGICAL TREATMENT OF METASTATIC NON—FUNCTIONING NEUROENDOCRINE TUMORS OF THE PANCREAS]
Abstract:
Experience of surgical treatment of 6 patients for synchronous and 9 — metachronous metastases of non—functioning neuroendocrine pancreas tumors (NEPT) in the liver was presented. In 14 (93.3%) patients made R0 resection. In 5 patients due synchronous metastases the combination intervention on pancreas and liver was performed, in one — limited to the removal of the primary tumor. Regarding synchronous metastasis in 8 patients resection of the liver, in 1 — multivisceral resection was performed. NEPT G2 stage diagnosed in 13 (86.7%) patients, neuroendocrine carcinoma G3 — in 2 (13.3%). Indications for surgical treatment of metastatic NEPT is resectable forms of the disease and the appearance of metastases is not earlier than 6 months after the first operation.

Cells and Secretions of the Pancreas
Exocrine function is carried out by acinar cells, organized into clusters known as acini. These cells contribute to digestion by releasing substantial quantities of enzyme-rich, alkaline digestive juices.

Loss of Tumor Suppressor Gene Functions
When the tumor suppressor genes develop mutations or are lost, cells start growing out of control, leading to cancer. However, a single functional copy of the tumor suppressor gene is enough for the cells to maintain their normal functions and cell...
