Tricky to answer: Metastatic neuroendocrine carcinoma is a heterogeneous group of tumors with variable aggressiveness. Depending on the primary site, different treatment options exist, including liver directed treatments to liver involvement or systemic chemotherapy if the primary is pancreatic. The prognosis is based on location, pattern of spread, and grade.
