Neuroendocrine neoplasms.

摘要

Neuroendocrine neoplasms (NEN) appear homogeneous in terms of morphology, but constitute a very heterogeneous group of lesions in terms of biological and clinical features. Neuroendocrine neoplasms may occur in any organ, but are most commonly observed in the lung and the gastroenteropancreatic system (GEP). The aim of this Special Issue of Hormone and Metabolic Research is to give an overview on recent advances in the molecular understanding of NEN and also on clinical aspects of these tumors including new therapy strategies.
