#294 Chromogranin B is a Prognostic Marker in NETs

Introduction: Chromogranin B (CgB) co-localizes with Chromogranin A (CgA) in the secretory granules of neuroendocrine cells. Previous studies have investigated CgA, but not CgB, as a prognostic marker in NETs.

#267 Plasma Somatostatin: Gastrin Ratio Improves the Diagnosis of Gastrinoma
