Endocrinology
Advances in Pulmonary Neuroendocrine Tumor Management
by Kjell Öberg
Description
Pulmonary neuroendocrine tumors (NETs) account for approximately one-quarter of all malignant lung cancers, the vast majority being represented by small-cell lung car-cinoma. The spectrum of NETs of the lung includes on the one hand typical carcinoids and atypical carcinoids with a more indolent behavior and, on the other, the highly aggressive poorly differentiated large- and small-cell carcinomas. This thorough overview of this challenging field from international experts explores the various existing and emerging treatment options across the NET spectrum together with approaches to diagnosis and monitoring of disease.
