Descriptor Spanish: Tumores Neuroendocrinos
Descriptor tumores neuroendocrinos
Scope note: Tumores cuyas células poseen gránulos secretores y que se originan del neuroectodermo, es decir, de las células del ectoblasto o del epiblasto que programan el sistema neuroendocrino. Las propiedades comunes de la mayoría de los tumores neuroendocrinos son la producción ectópica de hormonas (a menudo a través de las células APUD), la presencia de antígenos asociados al tumor y la composición de las isoenzimas.

Scope note: Tumors whose cells possess secretory granules and originate from the neuroectoderm, i.e., the cells of the ectoblast or epiblast that program the neuroendocrine system. Common properties across most neuroendocrine tumors include ectopic hormone production (often via APUD CELLS), the presence of tumor-associated antigens, and isozyme composition.
