Min Age: 18 Years
Plain Language Summary
Simplified for easier understanding
This study is collecting tumor tissue from patients having surgery for neuroendocrine tumors of the digestive system (stomach, intestine, or pancreas) to grow miniature tumor models in the lab called "organoids," which can help researchers test treatments.
