Abstract
: Pancreatic neuroendocrine tumor(P-NET)often involve liver metastases. We report a 52-year-old woman who underwent distal pancreatectomy for a pancreatic body tumor with a diameter of 8 cm. The pathological findings were P-NETG2 . After 1 year 6 months, a liver metastasis was detected. We performed partial hepatectomy. The pathological findings showed a Ki-67 index of 23%. After surgery, CPT-11 plus CDDP therapy and AMR therapy were administered.
Conclusions: Multimodal therapies should be considered for P-NETliver metastases based on the Ki-67 index.
