Abstract

In 2017, the World Health Organization (WHO) classification for pancreatic NET was updated to include a new category of well-differentiated high-grade (Ki 67 > 20%) pancreatic tumors (NET G3), distinct from high-grade poorly differentiated neuroendocrine carcinoma (NEC). NET G3 are considered a molecularly, radiologically, and prognostically distinct entity compared to NEC and NET G1/G2. The optimal first-line management in NET G3 and sequencing therapies remains a challenge awaiting future trials taking into consideration the unique characteristics of this category. In this review, we aim to summarize the current evidence in the management of NET G3.
