Management and outcome of metastatic pheochromocytomas/paragangliomas: a monocentric experience.

Our data showed that older age at the initial diagnosis, sympathetic extra-adrenal localization, larger tumors and wild-type neoplasms are related to worse prognosis. Notably, the employed therapies do not seem to influence the survival of our patients. At present, effective treatments for metastatic PPGLs are missing and a multidisciplinary approach is indispensably required.
