Abstract:
The foregut, which includes the esophagus, stomach and duodenum, represents one of the most common sites for neuroendocrine neoplasms. These are highly heterogenous with different risk of progression depending on location, cell-type of origin, size, grade and other factors. Various endoscopic and imaging modalities exist to inform therapeutic decision-making, which may be in the form of surgical or endoscopic resection and medical therapy depending on the extent of the disease after diagnostic evaluation. This narrative review aims to explore the literature on the multimodal management of such foregut neuroendocrine neoplasms.
