Full text not available from this repository.High-grade gastroenteropancreatic neuroendocrine neoplasms are well-differentiated neuroendocrine tumors or poorly differentiated small/large cell neuroendocrine carcinoma. Distinguishing these entities relies on different genetic backgrounds and resulting different biology. The new classification creates several problems. Almost all clinical treatment data on neuroendocrine neoplasms do not stratify between well and poorly differentiated, providing insufficient help in treatment selection. Treatment of gastroenteropancreatic neuroendocrine neoplasms should separate between well-differentiated neuroendocrine tumors and neuroendocrine carcinoma, and depends on primary tumor site, stage, proliferation rate, and clinical course. This article addresses how to diagnose and treat gastroenteropancreatic neuroendocrine neoplasms, focusing on well-differentiated neuroendocrine tumors versus neuroendocrine carcinomas.
