Biochemical factors in the blood serum of neuroendocrine tumor patients with carcinoid syndrome
Introduction. Carcinoid syndrome is the most common functional syndrome in patients with neuroendocrine tumors. More than 40 biochemical factors are responsible for the manifestation of carcinoid syndrome, among which serotonin is the most important. The

Chromogranin A: From Laboratory to Clinical Aspects of Patients with Neuroendocrine Tumors [PDF]
Background. Neuroendocrine tumors (NETs) are characterized by having behavior and prognosis that depend upon tumor histology, primary site, staging, and proliferative index.

MEN1 Gene mutation and reduced expression are associated with poor prognosis in pulmonary carcinoids [PDF]
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 ...

Metabolic Signatures of Lung Cancer in Biofluids: NMR-Based Metabonomics of Blood Plasma [PDF]
In this work, the variations in the metabolic profile of blood plasma from lung cancer patients and healthy controls were investigated through NMR-based metabonomics, to assess the potential of this approach for lung cancer screening and diagnosis.
