Endocrine and neuroendocrine tumors originate from endocrine cells but are heterogeneous in terms of clinical presentation, disease outcome, and treatments available. This Special Issue addresses specific aspects of pre-clinical, clinical, and translational research and clinical management of these diseases with the aim of providing novel insights, addressing current unmet needs, and discussing future treatment perspectives.
