Description
Summary:Gastroenteropancreatic neuroendocrine neoplasm (GEP-NEN) is a rare heterogeneous tumor. The heterogeneity in pathology, differentiation, grade and clinical stages results in different prognosis and treatment strategy. Patients with recurrent or metastatic NEN have limited treatment options and poor prognosis.Programmed cell death 1(PD-1) blockade has played indispensable roles in management of cancers recently.Immunotherapy is being explored in NENs in the world with emerging clinical trials. The results of the trials provide evidence and guidance in the application of NEC.The article analizes and summarizes of the findings of major investigations in this field.
