Overview
Secondary prevention measures of glucagonoma include routine glucagon levels and imaging at scheduled intervals after treatment.
Secondary Prevention
Guidelines from the National Comprehensive Cancer Network include the following recommendations for follow-up after treatment of a pancreatic neuroendocrine tumor:[1]
- Three to 12 months post-resection: History and physical examination, serum glucagon level, and computed tomography or magnetic resonance imaging.
- More than one-year post-resection to a maximum of 10 years: history and physical examination with serum glucagon level every 6 to 12 months. Imaging studies as clinically indicated.
