Precision Medicine in Rare Neuroendocrine Tumours
Author(s): Enoch Paul*
The clinical care of neuroendocrine tumours (NETs), a rare neoplasm with rising prevalence, is difficult. The possibility for these tumours to emit
amines or peptide hormones that result in recognisable clinical symptoms is an oddity (functioning tumors). Hormonal disorders can have a major
detrimental impact on a patient's quality of life and prognosis. The attempts to understand the molecular pathways behind tumour growth and
progression have been hampered by their relative rarity, vast anatomic distribution, and varied biological behaviour. Our knowledge of the genomic
and epigenome events underlying NET pathogenesis has improved as a result of recent advancements in "omic" technology and their expanded
accessibility... Read More»
