#262 Changes on Chromosome 18 are Involved in Sporadic and Familial Ileal Carcinoid Tumor Development

Introduction: Small intestine neuroendocrine tumors (ileal carcinoid) is generally considered a sporadic disease. We have identified nine families with an ileal carcinoid tumor diagnosed in two or more individuals.

#112 Chromogranin A is a sensitive marker for detection of recurrence in neuroendocrine tumors

Introduction: The chromogranin family is a family of large acidic proteins which are expressed in neuroendocrine cells. There are several members in this family (Chromogranin A, B (CgA and CgB) and the secretogranins). Here, we show that CgA is an excellent marker to detect recurrence in neuroendocrine tumors.
