Resection Versus Observation of Small Asymptomatic Nonfunctioning Pancreatic Neuroendocrine Tumors

Management of asymptomatic, nonfunctioning small pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors (PNETs) is controversial because of their overall good prognosis, and the morbidity and mortality associated with pancreatic surgery. Our aim was to compare the outcomes of resection with expectant management of patients with small asymptomatic PNETs. Retrospective review of patients with nonfunctioning asymptomatic PNETs
