Julie Hallet: 1 of 3 PNETs potentially over-treated especially small PNETs in expert centre
Julie Hallet, Chair, Equity Diversity and Inclusion Group at IHPBA, shared a post by Giovanni Marchegiani, at
“1 of 3 PNETs potentially over-treated especially small PNETs in expert centre (higher elsewhere) Same OS over vs appropriate treatment 25% overtreated pts have unnecessary morbidity.
We can harm patients NET MCC over treatment One of my fave this year.“
Quoting Giovanni Marchegiani’s post:
“Surgery for non functioning pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors.
Are we harming our patients.
Almost 400 resected P-NET with path and FU analysis %
Inadequate treatment (34% potential overtreatment)
Size only reliable predictor.“
