Rela Hospital launched a Centre of Excellence for Neuroendocrine Tumours on Monday.
Nobel Laureate Ada E. Yonath commissioned the centre. Neuroendocrine tumours begin in neuroendocrine cells with traits similar to nerve cells and hormone-producing cells. Neuroendocrine tumours, more common in gastrointestinal tract, lungs, pancreas, appendix, small intestine and rectum, can occur in almost any organ.
