  • Title: Carcinoid and neuroendocrine tumors: building on success.
    Author: Kunz PL.
    Journal: J Clin Oncol; 2015 Jun 01; 33(16):1855-63. PubMed ID: 25918282.
    Abstract:
    We have come a long way in our understanding and treatment of neuroendocrine tumors since the term "karzinoide" was coined in 1907. Neuroendocrine tumors are a group of biologically and clinically heterogeneous neoplasms that most commonly originate in the lungs, GI tract, and pancreas. The selection of initial and subsequent therapies requires careful consideration of both tumor and treatment characteristics. With recent advances, we now have more tools for the diagnosis and treatment of our patients. This comprehensive review article summarizes recent advances in the field of neuroendocrine tumors and places them into context for best management practices.
