Recent studies have shown that pulmonary neuroendocrine tumor (NET) subgroups, defined by the transcription factors OTP and ASCL1, correlate with age, sex, and tumor location. Their relationships with histology and hormone production, however, remain unclear. We analyzed 170 pulmonary NETs classified by OTP (O) and ASCL1 (A) expression into four groups: O + /A + , O + /A-, O-/A + , and O-/A-. Subgroups were...
