Abstract:
Colorectal neuroendocrine neoplasm (NEN) is originated from colorectal neuroendocrine cells.The incidence of colorectal NEN is low,however it has been increasing in recent years.As the research work has gone further,WHO has graded colorectal NEN to neuroendocrine tumor,neuroendocrine carcinoma,mixed gland-neuroendocrine carcinoma and hyperplastic and pre-neoplastic lesions.Although colorectal NEN cells can produce hormones and have endocrine functions,the clinical symptoms may not be shown.The diagnosis and treatment for colorectal NEN are different according to different classifications and stages.
