Unraveling molecular pathways of poorly differentiated neuroendocrine carcinomas of the gastroenteropancreatic system: A systematic review
Highlights • Extra-pulmonary high grade neuroendocarcinomas of the gastrointestinal tract are rare and aggressive. • Alterations in TP53 and Cyclin D1 pathway and common in these tumors. • Many molecular alterations can be targeted with new cancer-directed agents. • Their molecular features resemble...

Summary: | Highlights • Extra-pulmonary high grade neuroendocarcinomas of the gastrointestinal tract are rare and aggressive. • Alterations in TP53 and Cyclin D1 pathway and common in these tumors. • Many molecular alterations can be targeted with new cancer-directed agents. • Their molecular features resemble those found in adenocarcinoma/carcinomas. |
