Introduction: Neuroendocrine tumors (NETs) are a heterogeneous group of neoplasm derived from peptide- and amine-producing cells of the neuroendocrine system, characterized by the intracellular presence of markers of endocrine tissue, like chromogranin A, synaptophysin, neuronspecific enolase and having low to medium malignant potential.

Aim(s): To find out epidemiology and clinical behavior of NETs as there is limited data from India.
