ABOUT


Our 2025 NCF Neuroendocrine Tumor Patient Conference is designed for neuroendocrine cancer (NET or neuroendocrine tumor) patients and caregivers to deepen your understanding of NETs. Whether you are newly diagnosed or have been living with NET for many years, we encourage you to attend:

 

  • Learn from top neuroendocrine cancer experts from across North America on a range of topics relevant to the NET patient journey.

  • Topics include work-ups, scans, surgery, carcinoid crisis, liver-directed therapy, PRRT, systemic treatments, treatment sequencing, NET guidelines, and clinical trials.

  • Gain insight into decision-making through the NET tumor board panel discussion.

  • Hear stories from neuroendocrine cancer patients and caregivers.

  • Join virtually, where you can pause, rewind, or replay.

  • There is no cost to attend. This event is made possible by the generosity of donors and sponsors.


Note: The Neuroendocrine Cancer Foundation was formerly known as LACNETS. Read the full announcement here >>>
