Design Details

Cohorts and Interventions

Group / Cohort
Patients undergoing surgery for neuroendocrine neoplasia
At least 10 cultures of organoids of Gastro-entero-pancreatic neoplasms (GEP-NEN) derived from patients undergoing surgery for neuroendocrine neoplasia. This study will allow us to define the success rate in the generation of organoids from gastro-entero-pancreatic neoplasms (GEP-NEN).

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Set up of at least 10 organoid cultures
Time Frame: 42 months
The organoids will be generated from tumor tissue samples and surrounding healthy tissue obtained from patients affected by GEP-NEN (who meet the inclusion/exclusion criteria) collected, according to clinical practice, during tumor resection surgery. Only the excess material after carrying out all the investigations necessary for the correct diagnosis histological analysis can be used for the purpose of the project
