| Abstract: | With the recent widespread availability of gastrin radioimmunoassays, the development of increasingly effective medical therapy for gastric hypersecretion, and improved methods to localize gastrinomas in patients with Zollinger-Ellison syndrome, the diagnosis, treatment of the gastric acid hypersecretion, and approach to the tumor have changed significantly. Recent advances in each of these areas and the current management of a patient with Zollinger-Ellison syndrome are reviewed. |
