Gastroesophageal Junction Neuroendocrine Carcinoma

Preferred Label : Gastroesophageal Junction Neuroendocrine Carcinoma;

NCIt definition : An aggressive, high-grade, and poorly differentiated carcinoma with neuroendocrine differentiation that arises from the gastroesophageal junction. The mitotic count is more than 20 per 10 HPF. It is classified as either small or large cell neuroendocrine carcinoma based on the size of the malignant cells, the prominence of the nucleoli, and the amount of cytoplasm.;

Neoplastic status : Malignant;
