Targeting RACGAP1 suppresses growth hormone pituitary adenoma growth
Neuroendocrinology 9 min.
Pituitary adenomas (PAs) are common lesions in humans, which are found in 15-20% of cadavers or radiologic findings and constitute approximately 10% of all intracranial tumors [1, 2]. PAs are usually classified into nonfunctioning adenomas and functional adenomas based on their ability to secrete hormones....
Primary ovarian neuroendocrine neoplasia with concurrent large epithelial borderline ovarian tumor, coexistent with non-malignant pleural effusion and multiple uterine fibroids: a case report and review of the literature
Neuroendocrinology 4 min.
Neuroendocrine neoplasms (NENs) are a group of neoplasms often originating from the neuroendocrine cells in the gastrointestinal tract, pancreas, and respiratory tract from the tracheobronchial system. NENs arise from the endocrine cells derived from the neuroectoderm, neural crest, and endoderm [1,...
Endoscopic resection of rectal neuroendocrine tumors: zero disease-related deaths during a 10-year follow-up period
Neuroendocrinology 5 min.
Gastrointestinal neuroendocrine tumors (GI-NETs), which originate from neuroendocrine cells in the deep mucosal layer and were referred to as benign carcinoid tumors [1], are now classified as neuroendocrine neoplasms with metastatic potential [2, 3–4]. Consequently, GI-NETs detected by endoscopic...
Relationship between MRI features and HIF-1α, GLUT1 and Ki-67 expression in pituitary adenoma with cystic degeneration
Neuroendocrinology 3 min.
Pituitary adenoma (PA), a common tumor of the sellar region, is characterized by ischemia and hypoxia due to high proliferation and hypermetabolism, which can lead to changes of hemorrhage, necrosis, or cystic degeneration [1]. PA is frequently characterized by ischemia and hypoxia, and cystic transformation...
Immunohistochemical expression of ephrin receptors in neuroendocrine neoplasms: a case-series of gastroenteropancreatic neuroendocrine neoplasms and a systematic review of the literature
Neuroendocrinology 5 min.
Neuroendocrine neoplasms (NENs) represent a heterogeneous group of neoplasms originating from neuroendocrine cells of the endocrine system [1]. These neoplasms present a rising incidence all over the world, but the standard therapeutic strategies remained unchanged in the past decade, despite the rising...
