Is streptozocin/5-fluorouracil chemotherapy associated with durable response in patients with advanced pancreatic neuroendocrine tumours?
STZ/5-FU was associated with considerable RR. Treatment was associated with durable TTP especially in patients with Ki67-index of ⩽15%. These findings along with good tolerability strengthen the value of this two-drug chemotherapy for the management of unresectable pNET.
It seems unlikely that false positive responses were caused by insufficient strategic control of memory retrieval. This speaks against a major role of the capsular lesion which might disconnect the prefrontal cortex from the thalamus. It is proposed that the lesion of the nucleus accumbens caused amnesia.
