The Significant Influence of the Neuroendocrine Component on the Survival of Patients with Gastric Carcinoma Characterized by Coexisting Exocrine and Neuroendocrine Components.

Only the diameter of tumors and the number of metastatic lymph nodes are independent prognostic factors for gastric adenocarcinoma patients with a NE component. PMID: 30992704 [PubMed]
