Neuroendocrine carcinoma of the skin: a case report of "multiple neuroendocrine carcinoma" onset and long-term remission after chemotherapy

Tumori. 1995 Mar-Apr;81(2):148-50. doi: 10.1177/030089169508100216.

Abstract

We herein report a case of "multiple neuroendocrine carcinoma" onset, with a torpid course, metastasis in the left breast, and an initial considerable sensitivity to the chemotherapy. We conclude that a re-evaluation of the studies on this neoplasia carried out to date is needed, in order to identify new regimens, which increase the complete response rates and their duration.
