Coexistence of superficial carcinogenesis of resident epithelium besides neuroendocrine neoplasm of the digestive tract

ConclusionsThese findings suggested a potential “paratransformation” or “bystander effect” in resident epithelium by NENs. Thus, “bystander carcinogenesis” could be a pathogenic mechanism of resident epithelium transformation adjacent to NENs in the esophagogastrointestinal tract.
