Small Intestinal Neuroendocrine Tumor Analyses : Somatostatin Analog Effects and MicroRNA Profiling

Small intestinal neuroendocrine tumors (SI-NETs) originate from serotonin-producing enterochromaffin (EC) cells in the intestinal mucosa. Somatostatin analogs (SSAs) are mainly used to control hormonal secretion and tumor growth. However, the molecular mechanisms leading to the control of SI-NETs ar...
