Hello doctor,
I am a 67 year old male patient. My report says 'neuroendocrine tumor well-differentiated benign against a background of chronic duodenitis.' Kindly let me know whether it is cancer or not. I have no other health problems.
Hello,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
- Ki-67 is not done yet. That information is required to say if it has malignant cancer potential. Kindly ask the lab to perform the same.

Thank you doctor,
I am sending IHC markers report. Kindly let me know whether it is cancer or a normal one and whether it is a major or minor problem and if it is permanently curable. I am sending all the reports. Please let me know in detail.
Hello,
Welcome back to icliniq.com.
I have gone through all the reports attached by you.
- The Ki-67 is 19 percent. So, it will be classified as a neuroendocrine neoplasm. Kindly note that above 20 percent it is classified as carcinoma requiring chemo. Since it below 20, a close watch can be considered.
- But you should undergo staging workup such as CT scan of abdomen, pelvis, and chest as a baseline.
