Measuring quality in surgery for pancreatic NETs🦓 is crucial ‼️ ✔️Only 32% achieve textbook outcomes after surgery. ✔️Tumor size, approach, and volume are critical factors. ✔️Despite rising TO rates, survival remains unchanged ⁦AnnalsSurgOncology⁩ link.springer.com/article/10.124…

1⃣of3⃣PNETs 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 ⬇️overtreatment One of my fave📝 this year Stefano Partelli
