Background: Neuroendocrine tumors of the pancreas are rare tumors. We identified predictive factors that are associated with long-term survival ( greater than or equal to5 years). Methods: Fifty patients with a diagnosis of neuroendocrine tumors of the pancreas were retrospectively evaluated. The following factors were evaluated for disease-specific mortality: age, sex, primary tumor location, functional status, type of primary tumor treatment, presence or absence of liver metastases, timing of liver metastases occurrence, and type of liver metastases treatment. Aggressive treatment of the liver metastases included surgery, chemoembolization, or intrahepatic arterial infusion chemotherapy. Results: Twenty-three patients (47%) had tumor located in the head of the pancreas, and 29 patients (58%) had nonfunctioning tumor. Thirty-nine patients (78%) had liver metastases. The median follow-up for the entire group was 35 months (range, .76-206 months). The median survival for the entire group was 40 months, and the overall 1-, 2-, and 5-year survival rates were 84%, 69%, and 36%, respectively. Factors that had a significant favorable effect on survival included curative resection of the primary tumor, metachronous liver metastases, absence of liver metastases, and aggressive treatment of the liver metastases. Conclusions: Definitive surgical resection of the primary tumor, absence of liver metastases, metachronous liver metastases, and aggressive treatment of the liver metastases were predictors of long-term survival in patients with neuroendocrine tumors of the pancreas.
