Objective: Gastroenteropancreatic neuroendocrine neoplasm (GEP-NENs) are rare and heterogeneous in their tumor biology. Therapeutic options to prevent growth and dissemination are still not satisfactory. As shown previously, survivin and aurora kinases (members of the mitotic chromosomal passenger complex) play a role in cell cycle progression; FOXM1 is a transcription factor that regulates G2/M progression and is associated with grading and metastasis in GEP-NENs. Aurora kina...
