• Chromogranin A is an acidic, hydrophilic protein of 49 kDa present in chromaffin granules of the neuroendocrine cells and is a member of the granin family.
• Neuroendocrine tumors (NETs) originate from neuroendocrine cells found in neuronal and endocrine tissues throughout the body.
• The most common sites of NETs are the lung, stomach, appendix, cecum, duodenum, pancreas, jejunum/ileum, colon and rectum.
• NETs arising from the gastrointestinal tract are collectively known as gastroentero-pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors.
• Follow up and monitoring investigations of NETs are based on tumor markers together with other diagnostic measures and clinical signs.
• Besides its use as immunohistological marker, CgA has been well recognized as a general broad-spectrum serum marker in GEP-NETs.
