PurposeThere is a continuity of changes ranging from enterochromaffin‐like (ECL) cell hyperplasia to type 1 gastric neuroendocrine neoplasms (GNEN1) with important clinical implications. Although the effect of the circadian clock system on tumorigenesis has been addressed, the role of the peripheral clock system in the transition from ECL-cell hyperplasia to GNEN1 remains to be explored.MethodsSix patie...

Introduction: Gastric neuroendocrine tumors (GNET) are rare gastric neoplasms which are developed due to hypergastrinemia and enterochromaffin-like (ECL) cell hyperplasia. Although the effect of the circadian clock system disruption on tumorigenesis has been already studied in various malignancies and autoimmune diseases, the role of the peripheral clock system in the transition from ECL-cell hyperplasia to GNEN1 (Type 1 Gastric Neuroendocrine Neoplasms) remains unexplored.</p...
