BusinessWorld March 3, 2021 | 11:00 am What are PNETs? Pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors, or PNETs, are cancers that arise from the endocrine cells in the pancreas. PNETs gained a lot of attention after the late Apple co-founder Steve Jobs was diagnosed with the condition. Unlike the common type of pancreatic cancer known as adenocarcinoma, PNETs are rare. They account for less than 3% of all pancreatic tumors. Arising from the endocrine cells in the pancreas, these cancers can be hormone secreting or non-hormone secreting. Some of these hormones are active or functional and they cause hormone-related symptoms while others are inactive or non-functional. The majority of PNETs are non-functional tumors. Non-functional PNETs generally show no symptoms in the early stage and by the time they are diagnosed, they are often in the advanced stage.
