In contrast with other kinds of neoplasia, endocrine tumours are less frequently recorded, in part because many of these go undiagnosed. As endocrine tissues usually present several subtypes of cells, differentiation between normal and tumour tissue is difficult, as complex phenotypes and often paradoxical behaviour patterns are involved.This makes a reliable prognosis and successful management of endocrine tumours difficult to achieve. Hence, this situation has led to a relatively slow improvement in establishing the pathogenesis of endocrine tumours. The present Research Topic ?Architects of Endocrine-Related Tumour Growth? focuses on the nature of the heterogeneous cellular features and pathways involved in the cellular growth programs that shape tumour development and considers their implications in the evolution and treatment of endocrine tumours. The involvement of inextricable signalling networks is addressed, in which the orchestration of many interdependent pathways and cellular fates may guide, preserve, or interfere with endocrine-related tumour growth
