The classification and management of neuroendocrine neoplasms (NENs) arising in the tubular gastrointestinal (GI) tract and pancreas have significantly evolved over the last decades. In the latest WHO classification published in 2022, NENs are separated regardless of their primary origin into two main groups: well-differentiated neuroendocrine tumors (NETs) and poorly differentiated neuroendocrine carcinomas (NECs). The substantial changes in the grading system changed the definition of grade 3 to include high-grade well-differentiated NETs (G3-NETs), and poorly differentiated NECs (-NECs). Although these two subgroups are considered high grades with Ki-67 >20%, they have different genomic profiles, prognosis, and clinical behavior, which critically influence their treatment strategies. The available clinical trial data to guide therapy of these high-grade subgroups are extremely limited, which impacts their management. In this review, we will summarize the current advances in the multidisciplinary approach for the management of high-grade gastroenteropancreatic NENs (GEP-NENs) including G3-NETs and NECs.

The classification of neoplasms of adenohypophysial cells is misleading because of the simplistic distinction between adenoma and carcinoma, based solely on metastatic spread and the poor reproducibility and predictive value of the definition of atypical adenomas based on the detection of mitoses or expression of Ki-67 or p53. In addition, the current classification of neoplasms of the anterior pituitary does not accurately reflect the clinical spectrum of behavior. Invasion and regrowth of proliferative lesions and persistence of hormone hypersecretion cause significant morbidity and mortality. We propose a new terminology, pituitary neuroendocrine tumor (PitNET), which is consistent with that used for other neuroendocrine neoplasms and which recognizes the highly variable impact of these tumors on patients.
