Surgery continues to be the primary treatment of endocrine neoplasia. Only occasionally are other therapies appropriate and, in those cases, usually only for palliation. In this review, we address the surgical management of endocrine tumors of the pancreas, the adrenal glands, and the gastrointestinal tract (specifically carcinoid tumors). Endocrine tumors, although rare, often present in quite dramatic fashion but are generally associated with excellent survival rates when treated with appropriate surgical resection.
手术仍然是内分泌肿瘤的主要治疗方法。只有在极少数情况下其他疗法才适用，而且在这些情况下通常也只是用于缓解症状。在本综述中，我们探讨胰腺、肾上腺和胃肠道内分泌肿瘤（特别是类癌肿瘤）的手术治疗。内分泌肿瘤虽然罕见，但通常表现得颇为显著，不过在接受适当的手术切除治疗后，总体生存率通常很高。
