Targeted next-generation sequencing of well-differentiated rectal, gastric, and appendiceal neuroendocrine tumors to identify potential targets

Abstract excerpt

Rectal neuroendocrine tumors (NETs) are the most common gastrointestinal (GI) NETs with an uncertain malignant potential despite their small size. There are limited data about driver mutations in rectal NETs, which may explain the tumors' unexpected behavior or common histologic morphology with other GI-NETs. Here, we investigated the clinically and pathologically relevant mutations of rectal and nonrectal NETs...
