Overview

NCI Definition: A neoplasm with neuroendocrine differentiation arising from the digestive system. It includes neuroendocrine tumors (well-differentiated endocrine tumors or carcinoid tumors and well differentiated endocrine carcinomas) and neuroendocrine carcinomas (poorly differentiated neuroendocrine carcinomas, small cell carcinomas, and large cell neuroendocrine carcinomas). [1]

Digestive system neuroendocrine neoplasms most frequently harbor alterations in TP53, APC, KRAS, RB1, and CDKN1B [2].

TP53 Mutation, TP53 c.217-c.1178 Missense, TP53 Missense, APC Mutation, and KRAS Mutation are the most common alterations in digestive system neuroendocrine neoplasm [2].
