About Neuroendocrine Tumour in New Delhi
Neuroendocrine tumours are a diverse group of growths that arise from specialized cells found throughout the body, most commonly in the digestive tract, pancreas, and lungs, which normally produce hormones in response to nervous system signals. These tumours can be either non-functioning, meaning they do not produce excess hormones and are often discovered incidentally, or functioning, in which case they secrete excessive amounts of specific hormones that cause a distinct pattern of symptoms depending on which hormone is involved. Neuroendocrine tumours range widely in behavior, from slow-growing tumours that remain stable for years to aggressive, rapidly spreading cancers, making accurate classification of their grade essential for treatment planning. Specialized imaging using radiolabeled tracers that bind to receptors on these tumour cells is particularly useful for both diagnosis and treatment.
