Abstract
Duodenal and pancreatic endocrine tumors are uncommon and their surgical treatment is often difficult. The management of these tumors has changed with recent advancements in tumor localization, intraoperative hormone measurements, standardized surgical techniques, and a better understanding of the genetic basis of multiple endocrine neoplasia syndrome. We present our experience with 191 endocrine tumors and elaborate the contemporary management of functioning duodenopancreatic endocrine tumors.
