Chemotherapy for neuroendocrine tumors includes treatment with combinations of streptozotocin (STZ)+ doxorubicin and/or 5-fluorouracil (5-FU), cisplatin+ etoposide and dacarbazine. Recently, some new chemotherapeutic agents have come into use, such as temozolomide, oxaliplatin, and capecitabine, but they will not be discussed here.The decision to give chemotherapy should be based on criteria of primary tumor localization, stage and proliferation index as stated in the ENETS Guidelines. It should be emphasized that administration of chemotherapy may elicit hormonal crises.
