Elevated Serum Pancreastatin Is an Indicator of Hepatic Metastasis in Patients With Small Bowel Neuroendocrine Tumors.

abstract：:It was recently demonstrated in experimental models that, after pancreatic outflow obstruction, serum amylase levels first increase and then progressively decline regardless of whether the obstruction was maintained or relieved. Furthermore, early decompression of the ductal biliary system may prevent the progression ...
