Neuroendocrine neoplasms (NENs) are tumors that arise from neuroendocrine cells throughout the body, most commonly in the gastrointestinal (GI) tract, lungs, and pancreas. They are categorized as either slow-growing well-differentiated neuroendocrine tumors (NETs) or aggressive, poorly differentiated neuroendocrine carcinomas (NECs). Diagnosis involves imaging and biochemical tests, with histology confirming the type and grade. Treatments vary depending on the tumor's specific type, grade, and location but may include surgery, targeted therapies, peptide receptor radionuclide therapy (PRRT), and other drug treatments.
