Overview
Surgery is the mainstay of treatment for VIPoma.
Surgery
- Surgery should be considered after initial symptomatic management of VIPoma in operable cases.
- Complete surgical resection of tumor is the only curative treatment for VIPoma. The feasibility of surgery depends on the stage of VIPoma at diagnosis.[1]
- If the tumor cannot be removed completely, surgical debulking may have palliative effect for control of hormonal symptoms.[2]
- In nonresectable liver metastases, Hepatic TACE (transarterial chemoembolization) is emerging as a new non-emergency therapeutic modality highly successful for control of VIP-related symptoms.[3]
