The clinical and imaging presentation of pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors (PanNETs) is variable and depends on tumor grade, stage, and functional status. This degree of variability combined with a multitude of treatment options and imaging modalities results in complexity when choosing the most appropriate imaging studies across various clinical scenarios. While various guidelines exist in the management and evaluation of PanNETs, there is an overall lack of consensus and detail regarding optimal imaging guidelines and protocols. This manuscript aims to fill gaps where current guidelines may lack specificity regarding the choice of the most appropriate imaging study in the diagnosis, treatment planning, monitoring, and surveillance of PanNETs under various clinical scenarios.
胰腺神经内分泌肿瘤 (PanNETs) 的临床表现和影像学表现具有多样性,取决于肿瘤的分级、分期和功能状态。这种多样性加上多种治疗选择和影像学方式,导致在各种临床情况下选择最合适的影像学研究时变得复杂。虽然在 PanNETs 的管理和评估中存在各种指南,但在最佳影像学指南和方案方面总体缺乏共识和细节。本文旨在填补当前指南在 PanNETs 的诊断、治疗计划、监测和随访的各种临床情况下选择最合适的影像学研究方面可能缺乏特异性的空白。
