ABSTRACT
Optimal management of duodenal neuroendocrine tumors (DNETs) has not been well-defined, especially for DNETs 1-2 cm in size. Recent studies comparing endoscopic mucosal resection (EMR) and surgical resection demonstrate EMR is safe and effective for these intermediate-sized DNETs. Expert and consensus guidelines could consider updating recommendations to reflect the outcomes of EMR in DNETs and the importance of endoscopic surveillance in these patients to evaluate for local recurrence.
