Neuroendocrine Tumor Surgery

Neuroendocrine tumor surgery is a medical procedure aimed at removing tumors that arise from neuroendocrine cells, which produce hormones and are found in various organs, including the pancreas and intestines. These tumors can affect hormone levels and body functions. The surgery is performed to eliminate the tumor, relieve symptoms, and prevent cancer from spreading. Surgeons carefully assess the size and location of the tumor to plan the best approach, ensuring minimal impact on surrounding tissues. Successful surgery can often lead to improved health and quality of life for the patient.
