Abstract:
Gastroenteropancreatic neuroendocrine neoplasms form a heterogeneous and complex group of tumors with varying degrees of malignant potential. Their incidence has significantly increased in recent decades. Due to their generally indolent nature, they are often discovered incidentally or following extensive investigations for nonspecific symptoms, leading to diagnostic delays. Notable advances have been made in diagnostic and therapeutic options, including radionuclide therapy, endoscopic resection or radiofrequency ablation, somatostatin analogs, and targeted molecular therapies. A multidisciplinary approach is essential for their management, enabling clinicians to diagnose and treat these lesions optimally.
