None of my doctors have said anything. I'm not sure who ordered the pancreatic polypeptide level or why it was ordered. A pancreatic polypeptide level isn't mentioned as a routine lab for every NET work-up. Maybe selectively for suspected pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors according to Dr. Google. As far as I know ... I'm not suspected to have a pancreatic NET.

I'm afraid to ask anyone about the level. Maybe it doesn't mean anything.

@dadcue I suggest finding out who ordered it and why.
