[Associated gastroenteropancreatic neuroendocrine tumours to familiar syndromes].

چکیده
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 types of mutations, disease prevalence, affected neuroendocrine tissues and related clinical syndromes, and special morphological features of NETs on each of these syndromes.

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 کاملMedical management of secretory syndromes related to gastroenteropancreatic neuroendocrine tumours.
Although recent epidemiological evidence indicates that the prevalence of non-functioning gastroenteropancreatic (GEP) neuroendocrine tumours (NETs) is rising, a significant number of GEP-NETs still present with symptoms related to the secretion of biologically active substances leading to the development of distinct clinical syndromes. In the past, these syndromes were associated with substant...
متن کاملProliferative activity of neuroendocrine tumours of the gastroenteropancreatic endocrine system: DNA flow cytometric and immunohistological investigations.
The proliferative activity of 16 tumour specimens from 13 patients with neuroendocrine tumours of the gastroenteropancreatic endocrine system was studied by DNA flow cytometry and immunohistology for the nuclear Ki67 proliferation antigen. Equivalent results were obtained with both methods, which showed the proliferative activity of gastroenteropancreatic neuroendocrine tumours to be heterogene...
متن کاملGuidelines for the management of gastroenteropancreatic neuroendocrine tumours (including bronchopulmonary and thymic neoplasms). Part II-specific NE tumour types.
Part II of the guidelines contains a description of epidemiology, histopathology, clinical presentation, diagnostic procedure, treatment, and survival for each type of neuroendocrine tumour. We are not only including gastroenteropancreatic tumours but also bronchopulmonary and thymic neuroendocrine tumours. These guidelines essentially cover basic knowledge in the diagnosis and management of th...
متن کاملAnalysis of sporadic neuroendocrine tumours of the enteropancreatic system by comparative genomic hybridisation.
BACKGROUND Chromosomal instability is observed in a wide spectrum of human cancer syndromes. However, to date, little is known of the characteristic genetic changes in sporadic neuroendocrine tumours of the gastroenteropancreatic system. AIMS AND METHOD We have studied copy number aberrations (CNAs) in 26 sporadic neuroendocrine tumours of the enteropancreatic system (12 foregut and 14 midgut...
