insulinomas การใช้

• Insulinomas ( largely benign ) and gastrinomas are the most common types.
• Pancreatic tumours involve the islet cells, giving rise to gastrinomas or insulinomas.
• Two cases of PED have been associated with insulinomas, after removal of which the symptoms of PED were resolved.
• In functioning PanNETs, octreotide is usually recommended prior to biopsy or surgery but is generally avoided in insulinomas to avoid profound hypoglycemia.
• In contrast, the secretion of insulin by insulinomas is not properly regulated by glucose and the tumors will continue to secrete insulin causing glucose levels to fall further than normal.
• Additionally, a modified version of the Atkin's Diet helped to regulate glucose levels in the CSF . Patients with PED associated with insulinomas appeared to have symptoms resolved after consuming sugary drinks.
• Patients with the most common-and deadliest-form of pancreatic cancer ( pancreatic adenomas-which are usually always malignant, with a poor prognosis and high risk for metastasis-as opposed to more treatable pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors or pancreatic insulinomas ) are usually not eligible for valuable pancreatic transplantations, since the condition usually has a very high mortality rate and the disease, which is usually highly malignant and detected too late to treat, could and probably would soon return.
