Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Neuroendocrine neoplasms (NENs) are rare and heterogeneous tumors arising from cells of the diffuse neuroendocrine system. Recent national registers showed a rise in the incidence of NENs, possibly due to an increased disease awareness and the implementation of diagnostic investigation.
Still, diagnosing NENs remains a clinical challenge because a number of factors, such as the different sites of origin, biological aggressiveness, and their ability to secrete active substances. In addition, the natural history of NENs is highly variable, and prognoses range from excellent to very poor in relation to the lesion size and the grade. In this scenario, NEN management has grey areas that need to be optimized and addressed.
We would like to invite you to contribute a research article or review to this Special Issue, which aims to explore the most recent evidence in the literature on areas related to this topic.
