Background
Somatostatin analogues (SSA) represent one of the main therapeutic option in patients affected with functioning well‐differentiated neuroendocrine tumours (NETs). There are no studies specifically focusing on NETs associated with Multiple Endocrine Neoplasia type 1 (MEN1).
Aim
To evaluate the efficacy of the long‐acting SSA octreotide in MEN1 patients with early‐stage duodeno‐pancreatic NETs.
Patients and Methods
Forty patients with MEN1 were retrospectively evaluated. Twenty patients with evidence of one or more MEN1‐related duodeno‐pancreatic NETs |
