GlossaryNeuroendocrine Tumor

cancer arising from hormone-producing nerve cells

A Neuroendocrine Tumor (NET) is a type of cancer that arises from neuroendocrine cells, which are specialized cells that have traits of both nerve cells and hormone-producing cells. These tumors can occur in various parts of the body, including the gastrointestinal tract, pancreas, and lungs, and they can produce hormones that cause a range of symptoms depending on their location and the hormones they secrete.
