How Does Histology Guide Treatment Decisions?

The histological grade and functional status of PanNETs significantly influence treatment strategies. Surgery is the primary treatment for localized PanNETs, especially for functional tumors causing symptoms. Histological features such as tumor grade, size, and presence of metastasis help in assessing the need for additional therapies like chemotherapy or targeted therapy. For instance, higher-grade tumors may require more aggressive treatment approaches.
