**10. Conclusion**

Pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors are a distinct group of tumors from other pancreatic malignancies. They present with vastly different spectrum of clinical *An Overview of Pancreatic Neuroendocrine Tumors DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.5772/intechopen.96259*

features ranging from asymptomatic incidentalomas to symptoms related to hormone hypersecretion or due to mass effect. Due to rarity of these tumors and as the biological potential of these tumors remain unexplored, the management is largely consensus based and is still under a lot of research. Although surgery is the main modality of treatment but conservative management is also indicated in small non functioning tumors. Advanced pNET can be treated with chemotherapy or targeted agents. In this context, prospective studies with the creation of a large multi-center trials and an international registry are future recommendations.
