Overview

NCI Definition: A benign or malignant neoplasm composed of cells of neuroendocrine origin. Representative examples include paraganglioma, carcinoid tumor, and neuroendocrine carcinoma. [1]

Neuroendocrine neoplasms most frequently harbor alterations in TP53, RB1, KMT2D, RET, and APC [2].

Most Commonly Altered Genes in Neuroendocrine Neoplasm

TP53 Mutation, TP53 Missense, TP53 c.217-c.1178 Missense, RB1 Mutation, and TP53 Exon 5 Mutation are the most common alterations in neuroendocrine neoplasm [2].
