Pituitary neuroendocrine tumors: a model for neuroendocrine tumor classification
The classification of adenohypophysial neoplasms as "pituitary neuroendocrine tumors" (PitNETs) was proposed in 2017 to reflect their characteristics as epithelial neuroendocrine neoplasms with a spectrum of clinical behaviors ranging from small indolent lesions to large, locally invasive, unresectable tumors.

Neuroendocrine tumors (NETs) originate from single or clustered neuroendocrine cells, distributed in the gastrointestinal tract, urogenital tract, endocrine, and bronchopulmonary system. NETs account for approximately 2.2% of all malignancies. These slow growing tumors are difficult to localize and often metastatic at diagnosis. Surgery can be curative

Chemotherapy in Neuroendocrine Tumors [PDF]
The role for cytotoxic chemotherapy in patients with well-differentiated neuroendocrine tumors (NETs) remains debated. Compared to patients with poorly differentiated neuroendocrine carcinomas (NECs) where chemotherapy is utilized ubiquitously, chemotherapy may play a more select role in patients with certain types of NETs (e.g., pancreatic tumors ...

Neuroendocrine Tumors of the Thymus [PDF]
Neuroendocrine tumors of the thymus (NETTs) are unusual thymic neoplasms that were misdiagnosed as thymomas until the 1970s, when they eventually acquired a distinct identity. No collective large series have been published so far, and information about clinical presentation, diagnosis, histology, and treatment is derived from analysis of the case ...

Fishing for neuroendocrine tumors [PDF]
Neuroendocrine tumors (NETs) are a class of rare and heterogeneous neoplasms that originate from the neuroendocrine system. In several cases, these neoplasms can release bioactive hormones leading to characteristic clinical syndromes and hormonal dysregulations with detrimental impact on the quality of life and survival of these patients.

Neuroendocrine Tumor of the Gallbladder [PDF]
The primary neuroendocrine tumors of the gallbladder are very rare, representing 0.2% of all neuroendocrine tumors. The definite diagnosis is incidental in most cases.A 60-year-old male patient presented with a one-month history of epigastric pain and jaundice, itching, flushing, cough and wheezing.

Neuroendocrine tumors of the thymus [PDF]
Primary neuroendocrine tumors of the thymus (NETTs) are rare and biologically very aggressive neoplasms, usually located in the anterior mediastinal space. They are more frequently observed in males, in their fourth/fifth decades of life. In 50% of cases, NETTs are associated with endocrinopaties [Cushing's syndrome, acromegaly or Multiple Endocrine ...

Neuroendocrine Tumors in Pediatrics [PDF]
Neuroendocrine cells are dispersed diffusely throughout many organ systems in the body and hence neuroendocrine tumors (NETs) can arise from almost anywhere in the body. NETs are considered rare tumors, and the current incidence is reported to be about 6 cases in 100 000 in adults and about 2.8 cases per million in the pediatric age group. Despite the
