Launched last month, the Ask the NET Expert program gives NET patients and loved ones, as well as people seeking a diagnosis, the unique opportunity to get the expertise of doctors from around the country in all areas of medicine including medical oncology, surgical oncology, endocrinology, radiology, nuclear medicine, gastroenterology, and more via CCF’s website. Each month a different NET expert will answer your questions.
Questions should be general in nature as the physicians cannot answer case-specific questions. Questions can be on any NET-related subject including, but not limited to, diagnosis, biomarkers, pathology reports, clinical trials, and treatments.
We hope to be able to answer every question received but this may not be possible.
We post the questions and responses on our website, but please know your name will not be published.
