What Role do Neuroendocrine Cells Play in Disease?
Neuroendocrine cells are involved in various diseases, particularly neuroendocrine tumors (NETs). These tumors can occur in any organ that contains neuroendocrine cells but are most commonly found in the gastrointestinal tract and lungs. NETs can be benign or malignant and may secrete hormones that cause specific clinical syndromes.
