Tumour Biological Factors Characterizing Metastasizing Serotonin-producing Ileocaecal Carcinoids

In this study, metastasizing serotonin-producing ileocaecal carcinoid tumours (MSPCs) were examined for biological characteristics that could be used to define clinically relevant subgroups within this patient population. Possible targets for new treatment options were also explored. It was found th...
