Neuroendocrine Tumor Markers

  • Chapter

Part of the book series: Current Topics in Pathology ((CT PATHOLOGY,volume 77))

Abstract

Neuroendocrine tumors arise from organs known to secrete neuroendocrine messengers, e.g. hormones or substances with paracrine activity, and/or to contain cells displaying neuroendocrine characteristics or activity. The term “neuro-endocrine” is used here to define the secretory products of the cells and tumors rather than their nature and embryological derivation (see SOLCIA et al. 1984). Although individual tumor types do not occur frequently, neuroendocrine tumors as a group are common.
