Clinical features of gastroenteropancreatic tumours
Gastroenteropancreatic (GEP) endocrine tumours (carcinoids and pancreatic islet cell tumours) are composed of multipotent neuroendocrine cells that exhibit a unique ability to produce, store, and secrete biologically active substances and cause distinct clinical syndromes. The classification of GEP tumours as functioning or non-functioning is based on the presence of symptoms that accompany the...
متن کامل[Associated gastroenteropancreatic neuroendocrine tumours to familiar syndromes].
Aproximately 5-10% of neuroendocrine tumours (NETs) of the gastroenteropancreatic system (GEP) have an hereditary background. The known hereditary syndromes include: multiple endocrine neoplasia type 1 (MEN 1), von Hippel Lindau disease (VHL), neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF 1) and tuberous sclerosis complex (TSC). This review discusses for each of these syndromes the: genes involved and specifics...
متن کاملPrognostic factors of long-term outcome in gastroenteropancreatic neuroendocrine tumours.
Neuroendocrine tumours (NET) of the gastroenteropancreatic system comprise a malignant entity with a low incidence. Only limited information is available on long-term clinical outcome and clinically applicable prognostic factors. We performed a retrospective analysis of a large, well-characterized centre-based patient cohort of 399 patients with histologically proven NET. Data were analysed acc...
متن کاملSymptoms and Quality of Life in Gastroenteropancreatic Neuroendocrine Tumours
Gastroenteropancreatic neuroendocrine tumours (GEP-NETs) have the ability to induce symptoms either by their direct mass effect on local tissues (symptoms such as pain, bowel obstruction, obstructive jaundice, and bleeding), or by the ectopic secretion of bioactive compounds. GEP-NETs are frequently associated with significant diagnostic delays, and metastatic disease is often a feature at init...
متن کاملSystemic therapy for neuroendocrine tumours of gastroenteropancreatic origin.
Systemic therapy is one of a number of treatment options routinely used in the management of advanced, unresectable neuroendocrine tumours (NETs). In contrast to many of the other NET treatment modalities, there is at least some evidence base to justify its use. Even so, well-designed clinical trials are limited, since conducting clinical research in this complex group of rare cancers is challe...
