PurposeWe evaluated the pattern of chromogranin A (CgA) plasma levels in a large number of patients with neuroendocrine tumors (NETS), in a series of patients with chronic atrophic gastritis (CAG) with and without enterochromaffin-like (ECL) cell hyperplasia, and in healthy participants (HPs).Patients and MethodsTwo hundred thirty-eight patients with NETS, 42 patients with CAG with or without ECL cell hyperplasia, and 48 HPs were studied. All patients underwent a baseline visit, biochemical routine check-up, imaging techniques, endoscopy, and histologic determination.ResultsCgA plasma levels were higher in patients with NETS compared with CAG patients or HPs (P
