Neuroendocrine tumors
Neuroendocrine tumors are rare, accounting for less than 1% of all malignant tumors, and most occur in the stomach, intestines, and pancreas. The most common of these tumors is carcinoid, with an incidence of approximately 2.5/100,000, accounting for 50% of all gastrointestinal and pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors. Depending on the site of origin, carcinoids can be divided into the foregut (lungs, bronchi, and upper gastrointestinal tract up to the jejunum), midgut (ileum and appendix), and hindgut (rectum and rectum). This type of tumor can occur throughout the neuroendocrine system, but the most common site of involvement is the pancreas. Neuroendocrine tumors can be divided into two major categories based on whether the substances secreted by the tumor cause typical clinical symptoms - functional and non-functional.
