Gastric neuroendocrine neoplasms of the stomach can be divided into the usually well-differentiated, hypergastrinemia-dependent type I and II lesions and the more aggressively behaving gastrin-independent type III lesions. Studying menin and its complex interrelationship with gastrin may provide insight into tumor biology at the clinical level and in terms of basic cell biology (eg, the role of the epigenome in neuroendocrine cell proliferation), and lead to potential consideration of other targets that are known candidates for molecular-based therapies in other adenocarcinomas.
