Lakis et al. report novel findings related to the epigenetic landscape of pancreatic neuroendocrine cancer. This relatively large cohort provides functional insights into the epigenetic wiring of pancreatic neuroendocrine tumor sub-types with the potential ability to stratify tumours of different prognosis.
