Abstract
Methods are provided for diagnosing, detecting, or prognosticating a GEP-NEN based on the expression level score of biomarkers exhibiting differential expression in subjects having a GEP-NEN relative to a reference or control sample. The invention also provides compositions and kits comprising these biomarkers and methods of using these biomarkers in subsets or panels thereof to diagnose, classify, and monitor GEP-NEN and types of GEP-NEN. The methods and compositions provided herein may be used to diagnose or classify a subject as having a GEP-NEN, to distinguish between different stages of GEP-NENs, e.g., stable or progressive, to provide a measure of risk of developing a progressive GEP-NEN, and to gauge the completeness of treatments for GEP-NEN including, but not limited to surgery and somatostatin therapy.
