Distribution of Neuroendocrine Marker-Positive Cells in Colorectal Cancer Tissue and Normal Mucosal Tissue: Consideration of Histogenesis of Neuroendocrine Cancer.

CONCLUSIONS: Neuroendocrine marker-positive cells in colorectal cancer tissue are more common in the right sided colon, whereas neuroendocrine marker-positive cells in normal mucosa are more common in the rectum. These results suggest that NEC may arise from preceding adenocarcinomas. PMID: 31390635 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
