- Abstract
Gastroenteropancreatic neuroendocrin tumors (GEP-NET), which originated from neuroendocrin cells of embriologic gut, are frequently localized into stomach and ileum in our country. Distance metastasis were seen in 77-91% of ileal and pancreatic NETs, and long term survival is worse among G3 ones. Histopathologic features of GEP-NETs, e.g. freaquecy of mytosis and Ki 67 expression, present their own malignant potential. The functional capacity of underlying tumor seems to be important for its early or late diagnosis, and non-functional GEP-NETs may have more potential for distance metastasis. Primary aim for treatment should be local radical resection of tumors with maximum organ preservation. In this review article, with highlight of our own data, we aimed to discuss the management of GEP-NETs particularly based on its localization.
