47 Conclusion Chemotherapy is active in advanced pancreatic NETs Alkylating agents has been the main pillar of systemic chemotherapy Streptozotocin application is based on experience and studies from the past, but toxicity is a limitation

48 Conclusion Temozolomide, capecitabine and combinations with bevacizumab demonstrate promising results challenging the current “standard” Activity in carcinoid tumors is modest Individualization of therapy and biomarkers represent a promising direction
