Study compares the incidence of neuroendocrine neoplasms in China and the US

Neuroendocrine neoplasms (NENs) are rare cancers that develop from specialized secretory cells of the neuroendocrine system. These cells are found throughout the body and exhibit features of the nervous and endocrine/hormonal systems. NENs are largely associated with neoplasia of the bronchopulmonary system and the gastrointestinal tract.
