Abstract excerpt
CONTEXT: MEN1 gene alterations have been implicated in lung carcinoids, but their effect on gene expression and disease outcome is unknown. OBJECTIVE: Our objective was to analyze MEN1 gene and expression anomalies in lung neuroendocrine neoplasms and their correlations with clinicopathologic data and disease outcome. DESIGN: We examined 74 lung neuroendocrine neoplasms including 58 carcinoids and 16 high-grade...
