A Novel Strategy for the Diagnosis of Pulmonary High-Grade Neuroendocrine Tumor
Correctly diagnosing a histologic type of lung cancer is important for selecting the appropriate treatment because the aggressiveness, chemotherapy regimen, surgical approach, and prognosis vary significantly among histologic types. Pulmonary NETs, which are characterized by neuroendocrine morpholog...

Pulmonary NETs, which are characterized by neuroendocrine morphologies, represent approximately 20% of all lung cancers.
