The incidence of pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors (PNETs) has significantly increased in recent years, although this may reflect better detection and improved diagnosis, in addition to a true increase in incidence. The majority of PNETs are nonfunctional; up to half of nonmetastatic PNETs will present incidentally, and 85% will develop metastases over their lifetime. Treatment of PNETs is largely dictated by their heterogeneous nature and usually indolent behavior. Surgery is a mainstay of treatment, both in early PNETs and in metastatic disease. In this review, we focus on the treatment of well-differentiated early and metastatic PNETs, emphasizing current controversies, recent advances in therapy, and the multidisciplinary approach required for optimal treatment.
