Pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors (PNETs) are becoming increasingly common, with the majority of patients presenting with either lymph node involvement or metastatic disease, thus requiring systemic therapy. Targeted therapy is a type of medication that blocks the growth of cancer cells by interfering with specific targeted molecules needed for carcinogenesis and tumor growth rather than by simply interfering with rapidly dividing cells (eg, with traditional chemotherapy). In this review article, pharmacologic inhibition of multiple targets including vascular endothelial growth factor receptor (VEGF-R), platelet-derived growth factor receptor (PDGF-R), stem cell factor receptor (c-KIT-R), FML-like tyrosine kinase-3 receptor (FLT3-R), colony stimulating factor 1 receptor (CSF1-R), and glial cell-line derived neurotrophic factor receptor (RET-R) with sunitinib in patients with unresectable PNETs is discussed. Phase III data indicate that additional treatment with sunitinib can improve prognosis in these patients.
