Abstract

Abstract:

Since the concept of precision medicine proposed in 2011, the treatment of solid tumors has entered era of precision medicine led by gene testing. As a rare tumor, the incidence rate of pancreatic neuroendocrine tumor (PanNET) is increasing gradually. In the past, clinicopathological factors such as stage and grade system were used as criteria in the diagnosis and prognostic prediction of PanNET patients, and there were few biomarkers guiding the selection of PanNET diagnosis and treatment. As the diagnosis, treatment and prognosis of PanNET have been updated these years, and genomics and molecular testing are wildly used in PanNET research, can precision bring new changes to the diagnosis, treatment and prognostic prediction of PanNET? This article reviewed the current status of PanNET precision therapy through the latest literature.

Key words: Pancreatic neuroendocrine neoplasm, Precision medicine, Prognostic prediction, Target therapy
