Overview

Surgery is the mainstay of treatment for glucagonoma. The feasibility of surgery depends on the stage of glucagonoma at diagnosis. Hepatic resection is indicated for the treatment of metastatic liver disease in patients who are candidates for surgery with no extensive extrahepatic metastases.

Management of primary disease

Management of metastasis

Hepatic resection is indicated for the treatment of metastatic liver disease in patients who are candidates for surgery with no extensive extrahepatic metastases. It may potentially increase survival and has the benefit of symptom palliation.[5]
