Standard Pre- and Postoperative Determination of Chromogranin A in Resectable Non-Functioning Pancreatic Neuroendocrine Tumors - Diagnostic Accuracy: NF-pNET and Low Tumor Burden

Background: Chromogranin A (CgA) is often used in metastatic patients with nonfunctioning pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors (NF-pNET). The aim of this study is to assess the diagnostic accuracy of CgA in patients with low tumor burden. Methods: Resectable patients with NF-pNET without metastases a…
