Liver neuroendocrine neoplasms (NEN) without clinically known primary tumor are often classified as primary hepatic NEN. Here, the authors build a classifier accurately predicting the origin sites for NEN based on DNA methylation patterns and show that hepatic NEN with unknown primary tumor are predicted to display a non-hepatic origin.
