BACKGROUND: Gastric neuroendocrine neoplasia has been classified as neuroendocrine tumor (NET), a less-malignant type, and neuroendocrine carcinoma (NEC), a more-malignant type. We investigated phenotypic expression profiles to clarify the differences between NET and NEC in terms of histopathology and carcinogenesis. METHODS: We assayed 86 cases of gastric neuroendocrine neoplasms (NET G1, n = 25; NET G2, n = 9;...
