- Abstract
The article discusses a study on poorly differentiated endocrine carcinomas (PDEC) of the foregut. A PDEC is defined as a malignant epithelial tumor composed of highly atypical tumor cells growing in the form of large, ill-defined aggregates, often with necrosis and prominent angioinvasion and/or perineural invasion. It cites the epidemiology and clinicopathological features of the PDEC. It suggests surgical and cytoreductive therapy recommended for PDEC.
