Factors affecting nonfunctioning small pancreatic neuroendocrine neoplasms and proposed new treatment strategies

Despite previously reported treatment strategies for nonfunctioning small (≤20 mm) pancreatic neuroendocrine neoplasms (pNENs), uncertainties persist. We aimed to evaluate the surgically resected cases of nonfunctioning small pNENs (NF-spNENs) in a large Japanese cohort to elucidate an optimal treatment strategy for NF-spNENs.
