Risk of post-op diabetes after DP for localised NF-PanNET
🚨41% develop diabetes
Pre-op predictors:
📏 Distal healthy parenchyma
⚖️ BMI
🍬 HbA1c

📢 Small NF PanNETs can/should be observed
#ASPEN🏔️ @spartelli #ESMO25
👥Prospective multi-centre cohort 1️⃣0️⃣0️⃣0️⃣ PanNETs <2cm
An image 🏞️ is worth 1000 words👇🏻
For resection:
😳NNT 276
⚠️NNH 6
✅No difference in OS surgery vs active surveillance
👏Congrats on landmark work!

Excited to present at #ESMO2025 the results of the ASPEN study on 1,000 patients with pancreatic NETs <2 cm.
What do you think the data will support? Surgery 🔪 or observation 🔭

18%🔪 for 1-2 cm tumors
58%🔪 in ultra-selected cases

Most looking forward on this list to the results of #ASPEN 🏔️ - final analysis of multicentre prospective cohort of observation for small sporadic non functional PanNETs🦓
Congrats on the #ESMO25 late-breaking abstract @spartelli!👏🏻 ✨
Sharing some key Neuroendocrine presentations I’ll be looking for at #ESMO25 (virtually). So excited to see the field moving forward so quickly and kudos to ESMO for making sure rare/uncommon cancers get the spotlight they deserve. 🦓 💯 👏
Grateful for an inspiring @sito_trapianti meeting! Honoured to have presented our research on graft pancreatitis and to receive the Best Abstract Award! 🏆 And very proud of our team sharing the first 💯 transplants at @SanRaffaeleMI! 🚀@spartelli

Surveillance over right hemi for appendix #NETs 1-2cm - not only safe but cost-effective💰
Markov analysis from 🇮🇹
✅Survival is same >98%
✅Surveillance cost-effective - ⬆️with longer FU
Varies in 🌎👉🏻less cost-effective South Asia & Africa

Great talk by living legend Professor Buchler from @ChampalimaudF at @EurPancClub #2025meeting: lessons for the young surgeons and for their mentors
Thrilled to have attended #IPITA2025 in Pisa, presenting our work on graft pancreatitis!
Grateful to have shared this experience with my mentor @StefanoPartelli and with friends from @UniSR.
Heading home 🇮🇹/🇬🇧 full of motivation for the next steps ahead! 🚀
Upfront surgery ⚔️ Neoadjuvant chemo for resectable PDAC
🔀 RCT | Prep-02/JSAP05 🇯🇵
🎯 OS: 37 mo (neoad gemcitabine+S-1) 🆚 26.6 mo (surgery)
⁉️ Is neoadjuvant chemo extending survival?

☢️ Is there a role for ablative radiation therapy for technically resectable pancreas cancer?!
🇺🇸 25 pts T1-T2 with comorbidities (❌surgery)
👍 2-year local progression 20% overall survival 43%
😱 Very provocative read!

🦠 Microbiome plays a role in pancreatic surgery for PDAC - Enterococcus in bile
→ ⬆️ SSI
→ ⬇️ OS
🚨 Highest risk: Preop ERCP + E. faecalis in bile aspirates
💊 THM: Consider piperacillin-tazobactam for periop prophylaxis

Can we predict🔮 early progression ⏰after surgery for PanNET with LM?
🇮🇹54 patients
👨🏼🦳Age >70⚠️risk factor
👩🏼🦰Female gender 🛡️protective, even with bilobar LM
⚔️Is a more aggressive surgical strategy justified in younger patients/females?

Because you can resect does not mean you should
Not all NETs are the same
@spartelli introducing biological unresectability for PNETs at #ENETS25 👉🏻 identifying futile surgery & when preop therapy will help
We have 💊options - let’s figure out how to combine with surgery!

Not all nodal metastases are equal for #PNETs - @valentinandreas @spartelli at #ENETS24
Resected PNETs:
🔬micromets (<5mm) have same DFS as N0
➡️Not all nodal disease is clinically meaningful
⚠️Important info in discussing extent of surgery & LND
