Overview

NCI Definition: A neoplasm with neuroendocrine differentiation that arises from the pancreas. It includes neuroendocrine tumors (low and intermediate grade) and neuroendocrine carcinomas (high grade). [1]

Pancreatic neuroendocrine neoplasms most frequently harbor alterations in MEN1, DAXX, ATRX, TP53, and TSC2 [2].

Most Commonly Altered Genes in Pancreatic Neuroendocrine Neoplasm

DAXX Mutation, MEN1 Mutation, MEN1fs, ATRX Mutation, and TP53 Mutation are the most common alterations in pancreatic neuroendocrine neoplasm [2].
