Neuroendocrine tumors are rare type of tumors of the gastrointestinal tract. Mostly the patient is diagnosed rather late, the tumors don’t have specific symptoms and there are no sensitive and specific methods of early diagnostics of the disease. Also, to date, the choice of antitumor treatment methods is limited.
