This study's findings suggest that, in addition to previously reported disparities in surgical resection and surgery refusal rates, racial/ethnic disparities also exist earlier in the course of treatment, with non-white patients being less likely to be offered surgery for SBNEN but not for PanNEN; this is potentially due to discrepancies in rates of referral to academic centers for pancreas and small bowel malignancies.
