They are usually slow growing tumours and the most common sites are the appendix, small bowel and rectum. These tumours (except those starting in the rectum), produce a range of hormones including serotonin (5-hydroxytryptamine) and kallikrein. Depending on the type of cell in which the cancer developed they may be classified as neuroendocrine or amine precursor uptake and decarboxylation tumours.
