Neuroendocrine neoplasms of the digestive system- current classification and terminology

Digestive System Mixed Neuroendocrine-Non-Neuroendocrine Neoplasms.

Mixed neuroendocrine-non-neuroendocrine neoplasms (MiNEN) are a heterogeneous subgroup of rare neoplasms that represent about a third of all poorly differentiated neuroendocrine carcinomas (PDNEC). MiNEN combine a neuroendocrine component, usually a PDNEC, and a non-neuroendocrine component, generally an adenocarcinoma, both accounting for at least 30% of the neoplasm. MiNEN are classified as h...

Classification and pathology of ic neuroendocrine neoplasms

Gastroenteropancreatic neuroendocrine neoplasms (GEP-NENs) are composed of cells with a neuroendocrine phenotype. The old and the new WHO classifications distinguish between well-differentiated and poorly differentiated neoplasms. All well-differentiated neoplasms, regardless of whether they behave benignly or develop metastases, will be called neuroendocrine tumours (NETs), and graded G1 (Ki67...

Gastroenteropancreatic Neuroendocrine Neoplasms. Classification and Diagnostic Criteria

Epidemiology and classification of gastroenteropancreatic neuroendocrine neoplasms using current coding criteria

BACKGROUND The lack of uniform criteria for coding of gastroenteropancreatic neuroendocrine neoplasia (GEP-NEN) has hampered previous epidemiological studies. The epidemiology of GEP-NEN was investigated in this study using currently available criteria. METHODS All patients diagnosed with GEP-NEN between January 2003 and December 2013 in a well defined Norwegian population of approximately 35...
