Genetic and Molecular Biomarkers in Aggressive Pheochromocytomas and Paragangliomas.

Abstract excerpt

Pheochromocytomas and paragangliomas (PPGLs) are rare neoplasms producing catecholamines that occur as hereditary syndromes in 25-40% of cases. To date, PPGLs are no longer classified as benign and malignant tumors since any lesion could theoretically metastasize, even if it occurs only in a minority of cases (approximately 10-30%).
