Background: There are no effective blood biomarkers for bronchopulmonary carcinoids (BPC). We examined the utility of a neuroendocrine multigene transcript ‘liquid biopsy’ (NETest) in bronchopulmonary carcinoids (BPC) for diagnosis and monitoring of disease status.Aim: To independently validate the utility of the NETest in diagnosis and management of BPC in a prospective multicenter, multinational blinded study.Material a...

Background: There is currently no effective blood biomarker for lung neuroendocrine neoplasia diagnosis and management. We describe the clinical utility of a 51 neuroendocrine-specific gene expression set in blood to diagnose bronchopulmonary neuroendocrine tumors (BPNETs) and define their clinical status.Methods: The discovery set included BPNETs (n=154) and controls (n=90), randomly assigned (1:1) to a test and validation set.
