[Pancreatic endocrine tumor with metastases and increase of alpha-fetoprotein. A case report].
The authors report the case of a 48 years old man presenting a pancreatic islet cell carcinoma (gastrinoma) with liver, nodes and peritoneal metastases, associated with an elevated alpha-fetoprotein (AFP) concentration. Incomplete remission was first obtained with a chemotherapy using Streptozotocin combined with 5-Fluorouracil, in association with a Somatostatin analogue (SMS 201-995). But when relapses occur, another chemotherapy was not so effective. Serum gastrin and AFP levels had the same evolution and appear to have the same interest to follow the course of the disease.
