Abstract
Liver metastasis is the one of the main prognostic factors of pancreatic neuroendocrine neoplasm (PNEN). With the development of multidisciplinary collaboration among surgical oncology, medical oncology, and intervention treatment, the treatment of PNEN with liver metastasis gradually tends to become diversification. Surgery is still the only way for curing the patients with pancreatic neuroendocrine tumor with liver metastasis when the histological types are G1 and G2. Medical oncology and intervention treatment could be selected for those having PNEN with diffuse liver metastasis or those cannot tolerate surgery. Liver transplantation only suits for a small number of selected patients. The present article explored the relationship between histological classifications and the treatment options of PNEN with liver metastasis, and discussed the specific treatments from perspectives of surgical treatment, medical treatment and intervention treatment.
