Webinar: How Racially Distinct Genetic Differences May Influence Pancreatic Neuroendocrine Care

Webinar Abstract: There are known outcome disparities between Black and White patients with pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors (pNETs). Multiple retrospective series have found that Black patients have more advanced disease and worse survival. Recently, Black patients were shown to have higher rates of lymph node metastasis in smaller tumors than White patients, indicating possible differences in tumor biology. Numerous prognostic gene expression differences between racial groups have been reported in other cancers, but limited analysis has been conducted in pNETs...
