Expression and Significance of INSM1, Syn, and CgA in Different Grades of Gastrointestinal and Pulmonary Neuroendocrine Neoplasms

This study demonstrates that while Synaptophysin serves as a broad-spectrum marker for neuroendocrine differentiation, Chromogranin A reflects tumor differentiation levels, and INSM1 effectively compensates for CgA's limitations in poorly differentiated cases, thereby validating the combined use of these three markers with Ki-67 and morphology to significantly improve the grading and differential diagnosis of gastrointestinal and pulmonary neuroendocrine neoplasms.
