A PCR blood test outperforms chromogranin A in carcinoid detection and is unaffected by proton pump inhibitors

A critical requirement in neuroendocrine tumor (NET) management is a blood biomarker test that is sensitive, specific and reproducible. We evaluated a PCR-based 51-transcript signature to detect tumors, compared it with chromogranin A (CgA) and examined the confounding effect of proton pump inhibito...
