Neurons and neuroendocrine cells share a variety of common characteris
tics. Cell and molecular biological studies in recent years have impro
ved our understanding of physiological and pathophysiological processe
s such as cellular growth, adhesion, and secretion of neuroendocrine c
ells. Here we review current findings from the area of basic research
and from current clinical research relevant to improving the diagnosis
and therapy of neuroendocrine tumors of the gastroenteropancreatic sy
stem.
