What is a well differentiated neuroendocrine tumour? A well differentiated neuroendocrine tumour (NET) is a type of cancer made up of specialized neuroendocrine cells. The tumour is described as “well differentiated” because the cells in the tumour look very similar to normal, healthy neuroendocrine cells. These tumours can be found almost anywhere in the body. …

Well differentiated neuroendocrine tumour (NET) of the stomach is a rare type of cancer that starts from neuroendocrine cells in the lining of the stomach. Neuroendocrine cells are specialized cells that receive signals from the nervous system and release hormones into the bloodstream. NETs grow more slowly than other types of stomach cancer and often …

A well differentiated neuroendocrine tumor (NET) is the most common type of appendiceal cancer. It starts from specialized neuroendocrine cells in the lining of the appendix. These cells normally help regulate digestion by releasing hormones in response to signals from the nervous system. Most well differentiated NETs are small, slow growing, and curable with surgery. …

An atypical carcinoid tumour is a type of lung cancer. It develops from special cells in the lungs called neuroendocrine cells. These cells normally produce hormones that help regulate breathing and airflow in the lungs. Atypical carcinoid tumours usually grow in the central area of the lung near the airways. When the tumour grows large …

What is a typical carcinoid tumour of the lung? A typical carcinoid tumour is a slow-growing type of lung cancer made up of neuroendocrine cells. In the lung, this tumour starts from the neuroendocrine cells normally found in the walls of the airways and is often located in the central part of the lung near …

A well differentiated neuroendocrine tumour is a type of pancreatic cancer that starts from neuroendocrine cells in the hormone-producing (endocrine) part of the pancreas. These tumours are more common in people with a genetic syndrome called multiple endocrine neoplasia type 1 (MEN1), but most people with this tumour do not have any known genetic condition. …

A well differentiated neuroendocrine tumour is a type of tumour that starts from specialized neuroendocrine cells in the lining of the colon or rectum. Neuroendocrine cells receive signals from the nervous system and release hormones into the bloodstream. Tumours that form from these cells are called neuroendocrine tumours. When the tumour cells look organized and …
