Nerve and Neuroendocrine Cancers

Neuroendocrine tumors develop in cells that produce hormones in response to nerve signals. These tumors can be found in almost every organ of the body and can be classified as functioning or nonfunctioning. A functioning tumor is found in endocrine tissue and makes hormones. A non-functioning tumor does not make extra hormones. Neuroendocrine liver cancer is a rare type of liver cancer that develops in these cells and tends to spread from other organs. Understanding the causes, symptoms, and treatment options for neuroendocrine liver cancer is important for managing this rare condition.
