Abstract

The paper analyzes the literature on the problem of the management of patients with neuroendocrine tumors both from a historical perspective and from a modern aspect. Particular attention is paid to classifications, clinical diagnostic and laboratory diagnostic stages of the management of a patient with neuroendocrine tumors, especially the study of biological markers.
