- Why Attend the NCF NET Cancer Day Symposium on November 8th?
Neuroendocrine cancer (including neuroendocrine tumors/NET or neuroendocrine carcinoma/NEC) can feel isolating. Because the disease is uncommon and often misunderstood, many patients and caregivers spend months or years searching for clear information, experienced providers, and people who truly understand what they are facing. That is why in-person education and connection matters. The 2026 NET Cancer Day Symposium will bring the neuroendocrine cancer community together in Las Vegas, Nevada, on Sunday, November 8th, to focus on education, connection, and awareness. This is an opportunity for patients, caregivers, and advocates to interact with healthcare professionals in an intimate forum. You’ll be provided with the rare opportunity to hear directly from clinicians and specialists who understand neuroendocrine cancer and can help patients and caregivers build their knowledge, better understand the disease, learn about current therapies, and gain insight into questions they may want to discuss with their own care teams. This can help you feel more prepared and empowered to tackle your care and navigate complex decisions. The goal is not to replace conversations with your medical team. Instead, educational events can help you become a well-informed partner in those conversations. Education does not only come from the stage. It also comes from conversations in the room. The symposium is intended to create space for connection among patients, caregivers, clinicians, advocates, and supporters. Living with neuroendocrine cancer can bring uncertainty, stress, and emotional challenges. In-person gatherings can help patients and caregivers feel less alone and more connected to a community that understands the realities of neuroendocrine cancer. Hearing from others who are living with neuroendocrine cancer, caring for a loved one, or working to advance the field can offer encouragement, perspective, and a renewed sense of solidarity. “I have been part of the NET community for more than a decade, and some of my most meaningful experiences have come from sitting with the NCF team, exchanging ideas and shaping topics for meetings throughout the years—not only for NET Cancer Day. We do this because we genuinely love the work and care deeply about creating valuable experiences for the NET community. It is especially meaningful to have such an active role in planning and hosting the 2026 NET Cancer Day Symposium, and I am truly looking forward to welcoming everyone for a productive, engaging, and exciting meeting.” - Taymeyah Al-Toubah, Interim NCF Program Director RAISE AWARENESS TOGETHER NET Cancer Day is a global opportunity to increase awareness of neuroendocrine cancer. The 2026 NET Cancer Day Symposium will be part of that broader effort by bringing people together to learn, connect, and help expand understanding of this complex and often misdiagnosed disease. When patients, caregivers, advocates, clinicians, and supporters gather in person, they help enhance neuroendocrine cancer awareness within your community. JOIN US IN LAS VEGAS The 2026 NET Cancer Day Symposium will take place in Las Vegas, Nevada, from 8:30 AM to 3:00 PM, on Sunday, November 8th, at the JW Marriott Las Vegas Resort & Spa, 221 N Rampart Blvd Las Vegas, NV 89145. Whether you are newly diagnosed, have been living with neuroendocrine cancer for years, are caring for a loved one, or want to better understand this disease, the symposium is an opportunity to learn, connect, and take the next step with support. Thanks to the generosity of sponsors, we invite you to join us at no cost. Breakfast, lunch and beverages will be provided.

- Welcoming Taymeyah Al-Toubah
Taymeyah Al-Toubah, MPH, CCRP The Neuroendocrine Cancer Foundation ("NCF") is grateful to welcome Taymeyah Al-Toubah, MPH, CCRP, in a special support role as the Interim Program Director during the remainder of 2026. Taymeyah will support NCF’s programs and educational efforts from July 1 through December 31, 2026, helping ensure continuity for the patients, caregivers, clinicians, and community members who rely on NCF for trusted education, resources, and connection. This temporary support comes as Lisa Yen, NP, NBC-HWC, NCF’s Director of Programs & Outreach, takes time following the passing of her beloved husband, Tom Bajoras. Taymeyah brings more than a decade of experience in academic medicine, clinical research, oncology, and neuroendocrine tumor research. She holds dual bachelor’s degrees in Biomedical Sciences and Psychology and a Master of Public Health in Epidemiology. Her interest in neuroendocrine tumors began during her MPH thesis, which became one of her first NET publications. From 2018 to 2023, Taymeyah served as the primary neuroendocrine tumor (NET) coordinator at Moffitt Cancer Center, managing clinical trials, leading the GI team, and supporting retrospective and non-interventional research. She later served as Senior Project Manager of the NET program, overseeing protocol development, database creation, manuscript writing, and the curation of a master database of more than 10,000 NET patients. Taymeyah has published more than 45 manuscripts and has presented at both Europeon Neuroendocrine Tumor Society (ENETS) and the North American Neuroendocrine Tumor Soceity (NANETS). She serves on the Board of Directors of NANETS and co-founder and medical advisory committee of FLaNET Carcinoid Community, and she continues to mentor students pursuing neuroendocrine tumor research. In 2025, she began medical school in Italy, continuing her path toward becoming a physician-scientist dedicated to advancing care for neuroendocrine cancer patients. We are thankful to Taymeyah for stepping in during this meaningful time and grateful to our staff, Board, volunteers, medical advisors, and community partners for continuing to support NCF’s mission. As always, NCF remains committed to providing trusted education, support, and resources for people impacted by neuroendocrine cancer. If you have any questions, email the NCF team at info@NCF.net.

- Team Craig Lacrosse Supports the Neuroendocrine Cancer Community
Team Craig chose the Neuroendocrine Cancer Foundation (NCF) to support its work on behalf of patients and families affected by neuroendocrine cancer. Team Craig is named in honor of Craig Adams, who lost his battle with a form of neuroendocrine cancer in 2015. His sons, Ben and John Adams, promised to honor his legacy and give back to the community that helped give their family eight extra years with him. What began as a tribute to their father has grown into a powerful tradition: each year, a lacrosse team made up of friends and teammates from across the country competes in the Vail Lacrosse Shootout, united by Craig’s legacy and a shared passion for the game. Team Craig has quickly become one of the top competitors in the tournament, finishing third in 2024 and winning the tournament championship in 2025. In 2026, the team returned to compete again with a renewed mission to raise awareness and funds for families affected by neuroendocrine cancer. This year, Team Craig took that mission one step further by dedicating its efforts to supporting NCF’s work to expand awareness, education, and patient resources for those impacted by this complex and uncommon disease. The effort included a casual community gathering at Ratio Beerworks - OVERLAND in Denver, where supporters came together for live music, refreshments, conversation, and community in support of NCF. Neuroendocrine cancer can be difficult to diagnose and treat, and many patients experience years of misdiagnosis or undiagnosed symptoms. NCF works to change that by providing education and resources for patients and caregivers, increasing awareness and understanding of neuroendocrine cancers, connecting patients to experts and information about treatment options and clinical trials, and supporting a community for people navigating diagnosis and care. As Heather Davis, NCF’s Director of Community Engagement, reflected, navigating a difficult cancer can feel a lot like the unpredictable path of a loose ground ball in lacrosse. You never know exactly which way it will bounce, and the next challenge can come quickly. For many people living with neuroendocrine cancer, that uncertainty is part of daily life. There is often a constant need to adapt, make decisions, overcome obstacles, and prepare for what comes next. In lacrosse, one of the most important skills is cradling the ball: keeping it secure in the pocket of the stick while running, dodging defenders, preparing to pass, or taking a shot. That image feels especially meaningful for the neuroendocrine cancer community. Living with an uncommon cancer requires strategy, skill, focus, and agility. It requires a team that can help protect, guide, and support patients and families as they move through each stage of care. That is why NCF is so grateful to Team Craig, the Adams family, Chase Konkel, and everyone who helped bring this effort to life. Their generosity and commitment are helping NCF “cradle” the neuroendocrine cancer community by supporting those living with this uncommon cancer and helping connect more people to the resources and expertise they need. Although Team Craig did not take home the championship this year, their presence on the field represented something far greater than a final score. They played with purpose, honoring Craig’s memory and continuing a legacy rooted in teamwork, resilience, and care for others. NCF believes it takes a strong team to face cancer and to live well despite it. Team Craig is helping make that possible so that no one has to face neuroendocrine cancer alone. A special shoutout to Bodango for bringing the music and positive energy to the event and helping make the gathering even more memorable. We extend our heartfelt thanks to Ben and John Adams, Chase Konkel, the Adams family, donors, supporters, and Team Craig Lacrosse. Your commitment to this community is deeply meaningful, and your support will help NCF continue providing education, connection, and hope to patients and families affected by neuroendocrine cancer.

In this episode, Dr. Joseph Dillon, Endocrinologist and Director of the University of Iowa Neuroendocrine Multidisciplinary Tumor Clinic, explains what carcinoid syndrome is, how it’s diagnosed, and the various ways it can be treated. He highlights key symptoms, testing, and treatment approaches—including somatostatin analogs and telotristat—and discusses how to distinguish carcinoid syndrome from other causes of diarrhea and flushing. In the second half of the episode, Dr. Dillon shares insights from his separate line of research on GLP-1 receptor agonist weight-loss drugs (such as Ozempic® and Mounjaro®) and their potential implications for neuroendocrine tumor patients. (Note: this topic is unrelated to carcinoid syndrome.) MEET DR. JOSEPH DILLON Dr. Dillon is a Professor of Medicine in the Division of Endocrinology at the University of Iowa Hospitals and Clinics. He directs the University of Iowa Neuroendocrine Multidisciplinary Tumor Clinic. This was the first and only US NET Clinic to be recognized as a Center of Excellence by the European NET Society. He is also the Director of the PheoPara Alliance Center of Excellence at University of Iowa. His clinical practice is entirely focused on the care of people with neuroendocrine tumors, both carcinoid type and paraganglioma. He has participated in clinical trials and publications related to diagnostic and therapeutic nuclear agents and drug therapies in this population. Prior to focusing on NET he made important discoveries in the field of GLP-1 which are now becoming of importance to NET patients taking popular weight loss drugs. TOP TEN QUESTIONS: 1. What is carcinoid syndrome? 2. Who is affected by carcinoid syndrome? How does someone know if they have carcinoid syndrome? 3. What are the tests for carcinoid syndrome? How is carcinoid syndrome distinguished from other causes of my symptoms? *Could the tests be negative but someone still have carcinoid syndrome? 4. Can someone have no evidence of neuroendocrine tumors and still have carcinoid syndrome? 5. For those who have carcinoid syndrome, what additional tests should they have? 6. Why should carcinoid syndrome be treated? What are the possible issues if it is not treated? 7. How is carcinoid syndrome treated? *What is on the horizon for carcinoid syndrome treatment? 8.
