[Pathological implications in the neuroendocrine gastrointestinal system].

Area of Science:

• Endocrinology
• Gastroenterology
• Oncology

Context:

• The neuroendocrine system comprises dispersed endocrine cells throughout various organs.
• Digestive pathology involves a wide range of conditions affecting the gastrointestinal tract.

Purpose:

• To detail the neuroendocrine system's involvement in digestive pathology.
• To provide a comprehensive overview of neuroendocrine tumors (NETs) and their management.
• To examine the neuroendocrine system's role in inflammatory and functional digestive disorders.

Summary:

• This review covers the classification, epidemiology, symptomatology, diagnosis, and treatment of neuroendocrine tumors across all locations.
• It further explores the implications of the neuroendocrine system in inflammatory and functional gastrointestinal conditions.
• The article synthesizes current knowledge on the neuroendocrine system's multifaceted role in digestive health and disease.

Impact:

• Enhances understanding of neuroendocrine tumors and their management strategies.
• Provides insights into the neuroendocrine basis of common digestive pathologies.
• Aims to improve diagnostic and therapeutic approaches for patients with digestive neuroendocrine disorders.
