Neuroendocrine tumours (NETs) are tumours which arise from cells of the neuroendocrine system, which is the mechanism by which the hypothalamus maintains homeostasis. Neuroendocrine cells secrete hormones, a type of signalling molecule, that play a role in many of the body's different processes
Natural killer (NK)/T-cell malignancies comprise two related entities, extranodal NK/T cell lymphoma and aggressive NK leukaemia. The disease occurs world-wide but Asian and South American populations are particularly affected, NK/T cell malignancies carry poor prognosis, the response rate is low
Hodgkin lymphoma (HL) is a lymphoid neoplasm characterized by the presence of CD30-positive Hodgkin Reed-Sternberg cells in a background of inflammatory cells. The majority of patients with HL have a good outcome with first-line chemotherapy such as ABVD (doxorubicin, bleomycin, vinblastine and

Neuroendocrine tumor (NET) is a classification that has evolved over time to include a group of related tumors which all originate from neuroendocrine cells. This group includes carcinoid tumors, pancreatic endocrine tumors (PETs), catecholamine-secreting tumors (e.g. pheochromocytomas), medullary
