Abstract/OtherAbstract:
OBJECTIVE: In multiple endocrine neoplasia type 1, the main risk factor for metastases is pancreatic tumour size. We and others recommend limiting surgery to non-functioning pancreatic tumors ≥20mm or growing, based on their size measured with endoscopic ultrasonography. Because endoscopic ultrasonography is invasive, we compared endoscopic ultrasonography (EUS) to non-invasive magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) for the detection of pancreatic tumours ≥10mm in multiple endocrine neoplasia type 1 patients. METHODS: A prospective study was performed in nine participating centres; 90 patients with multiple endocrine neoplasia type 1 underwent EUS and MRI with gadolinium infusion. Gastroenterologists and radiologists were blinded to the results, magnetic resonance images were reviewed centrally. RESULTS: EUS detected 86 tumours ≥10mm, and 48 (53.3%) patients had at least one tumour ≥10mm. MRI detected 67 tumours ≥10mm, and 46 (51.1%) patients had at least one tumour ≥10mm. EUS and MRI agreement was moderate for detection of tumours ≥10mm (Kappa coefficient=0.49), and for selection of patients with tumours ≥10mm (Kappa coefficient=0.55). EUS and MRI missed 11/24 and 4/24 lesions ≥20mm, respectively. EUS failed to identify 9/57 (15.7%) patients with pancreatic tumours ≥10mm, and MRI failed to identify 11/57 (19.3%) patients with pancreatic tumours ≥10mm. CONCLUSIONS: EUS and MRI are complementary and should be performed at initial evaluation in multiple endocrine neoplasia type 1 patients. Whether follow-up should be based on either technique or both, requires further evaluation.
