Abstract excerpt
Gastrointestinal and pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors originate from the cells of the diffuse endocrine system. Their molecular genetic mechanism of development and progression is complex and remains largely unknown, and they are different in genetic composition from the gastrointestinal epithelial tumors. The current literature suggests that multiple genes are involved in their tumorigenesis with significant...
