Gastroenteropancreatic neuroendocrine tumors (GEP-NETs) are rare diseases with a prevalence that has been increasing over the past three decades. The unsatisfactory outcome of these diseases has encouraged a great amount of research attention and discussion. Currently, to the best of our knowledge, studies on transcriptome screening and molecular mechanisms of the pathogenesis of GEP-NETs are limited. In this review, we have summarized the signaling network of GEP-NETs and the recent meta-analysis-related studies, and we have discussed the potential research direction for GEP-NETs, especially based on computational analysis.
胃胰神经内分泌肿瘤(GEP-NETs)是一种罕见疾病,其患病率在过去三十年中一直在增加。这些疾病的治疗效果不尽人意,这引起了大量的研究关注和讨论。目前,据我们所知,对 GEP-NETs 发病机制的转录组筛选和分子机制的研究有限。在这篇综述中,我们总结了 GEP-NETs 的信号网络和最近的相关元分析研究,并讨论了 GEP-NETs 的潜在研究方向,特别是基于计算分析的研究方向。
