About
Dr. Marina Yukina is a leading expert in pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors (NETs), with a specialized focus on rare, insulin-related subtypes. Her research centers on the clinical characterization, surgical management, and biochemical profiling of these complex neoplasms. In her seminal single-centre study, Dr. Yukina analyzed 177 patients with pancreatic NETs, providing one of the largest systematic investigations into proinsulin-secreting tumors—an exceedingly rare condition typically limited to case reports. This work, which has garnered 3 citations, established critical benchmarks for diagnosis and treatment, highlighting the distinct metabolic challenges posed by proinsulinomas compared to classic insulinomas. Beyond this, her broader contributions include advancing understanding of hormonal hypersecretion syndromes and refining surgical outcomes for patients with functioning NETs. Dr. Yukina’s meticulous approach to rare tumor biology has made her a respected voice in endocrine oncology, and her findings continue to guide clinicians managing these diagnostically elusive cases. Her dedication to single-centre, data-driven research underscores the value of institutional expertise in tackling ultra-rare diseases.
