Neuroendocrine Tumors
0.100 GeneticVariation group BEFREE Although the numbers of each investigated neuroendocrine tumor type are small, our data indicate that oncogenic RET proto-oncogene mutations are involved in the formation of a subset of sporadically occurring medullary thyroid carcinomas and pheochromocytomas but do not appear to be generally important in the formation of other types of sporadically occurring neuroendocrine tumors. 8964826 1996
