pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors (pnets)
Pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors (PNETs) are a type of tumor that develop in the pancreas, specifically in the hormone-producing cells called neuroendocrine cells. These tumors can be benign (non-cancerous) or malignant (cancerous) and can affect the hormone levels in the body, leading to various symptoms. PNETs require specialized medical attention for diagnosis and treatment.
