ABOUT Neuroendocrine cancers can sometimes produce hormones that cause symptoms affecting daily life, including flushing, diarrhea, abdominal discomfort, changes in blood sugar, fatigue, and other quality-of-life concerns. Hormones can have a profound impact on how you feel and function, and in neuroendocrine cancer they can affect far more than tumor growth alone. Join us for this educational session with Jaydira Del Rivero, a medical oncologist and endocrinologist at the National Cancer Institute, as we explore the "endocrine" side of neuroendocrine cancer and its impact on daily life. Building on her January 2026 overview of functional neuroendocrine tumors (NETs), Dr. Del Rivero will discuss common hormone-related issues that patients may encounter throughout their cancer journey. Topics will include: Thyroid disorders and their symptoms Hormone-related side effects associated with immunotherapy Testosterone replacement and other hormone replacement therapies, including when they may be appropriate and when they may not What patients should know about GLP-1 medications Practical considerations for recognizing and managing hormone-related symptoms Whether you are living with a functional or nonfunctional NET, this session will provide practical knowledge to help you better understand your symptoms, optimize quality of life, and have informed conversations with your healthcare team.

Additionally, in the epNET cohort, about 20% of patients had lung NETs. Learn about one of the biggest breakthroughs in neuroendocrine tumor (NET) treatment: the FDA approval of Cabozantinib for metastatic NETs. In this in-depth interview, the Neuroendocrine Cancer Foundation’s Lisa Yen speaks with NET expert Dr. Aman Chauhan about the landmark CABINET clinical trial, new data from ESMO 2025, and what this means for patients with pancreatic NETs, extra-pancreatic NETs, lung NETs, and thymic NETs. Dr. Chauhan explains why Cabozantinib—a VEGF TKI targeted therapy—is transforming care for patients who often have limited treatment options, especially those with somatostatin receptor–negative lung NETs who may not qualify for somatostatin analogs (SSA) or PRRT. He also discusses promising results in higher-grade (G2–G3) well-differentiated NETs, an area with few effective treatment choices. ✔ What the CABINET trial revealed ✔ Why Cabozantinib is effective across multiple NET types ✔ How lung and thymic NET patients (thoracic NETs) benefited—~80% of the thoracic subgroup were lung NETs ✔ How this approval is changing clinical practice ✔ Introduction to Zanzalintinib (Zanza) — a next-generation VEGF TKI now entering phase 3 trials ✔ How to find NET clinical trials near you on ClinicalTrials.gov If you’re a patient, caregiver, or healthcare professional looking for new NET treatment options, this update provides essential insights into where the field is headed and how future drugs are being developed. 🔗 Search for NET clinical trials: https://www.ncf.net/clinical-trials Play Video Play Video 04:02 The Latest Advances in Neuroendocrine Cancer: An Update with Dr. Udhayvir Grewal • 2025 In this conversation, Dr. Udhayvir Grewal from the Winship Cancer Institute at Emory shares the newest developments in neuroendocrine cancer (NET/NEC) research, treatment, and clinical trials — offering clarity, progress updates, and hope for patients and caregivers in the NET community. 🔬 Key Highlights: - Alpha PRRT (Alpha Radioligand Therapy): New investigational treatments including Lead-212 Dotamtate, Lead-212 VMT-Alpha-NET, and Actinium-225 Dotatate (ACTION-1) are showing promising early results and may change the treatment landscape for NET patients. - New FDA-Approved Therapy for Pheochromocytoma & Paraganglioma: Belzutifan is now available for a subset of patients, supported by durable response data from the LITESPARK study. - Advances in High-Grade Neuroendocrine Carcinoma: Encouraging results are emerging from trials targeting DLL3, including obrixtamig, radioligand therapies, ADCs, and tri-specific drugs currently in development. 📍 Next Steps & Resources To explore active clinical trials and educational resources, visit: 🔗 NCF.net #NeuroendocrineCancer #NETCancer #NeuroendocrineTumor #CancerResearch #PRRT #ClinicalTrials #PatientEducation #NCF #NETUpdates #AlphaPRRT #DLL3 Play Video Play Video 06:26 The Latest in High-Grade Neuroendocrine Carcinoma (NEC): A Conversation with Dr. Chauhan • 2025 In this important update, Dr. Aman Chauhan shares the newest and most promising developments in treatment and research for high-grade neuroendocrine carcinoma (NEC) — a rare and aggressive form of neuroendocrine cancer.

- Episode 54: NEN Treatments: Focus on Cabozantinib | NeuroendocrineCancer
<< Go back to the Podcast page EPISODE 54 - NEN Treatments: Focus on Cabozantinib Download a Transcript of this Episode >>> ABOUT THIS EPISODE Since its FDA approval on March 26, 2025, cabozantinib has emerged as the newest treatment option for NET patients—adding another valuable tool to the treatment toolbox. It’s become a hot topic in support groups and forums, with many patients wondering what to expect. In this episode, Fox Chase Cancer Center medical oncologist Dr. Namrata (“Neena”) Vijayvergia answers the most frequently asked questions about cabozantinib. She explains how it works, how it differs from other therapies, what patients should know about dosing and side effects, and shares insights on a new clinical trial exploring the next generation of cabozantinib. TOP TEN QUESTIONS What is cabozantinib? Is it considered chemotherapy? How does cabozantinib work? What do we mean by “targeted therapies”? Who is cabozantinib typically recommended for? When in someone’s NET journey do you consider starting it? Why might a patient take cabozantinib instead of other treatment options? Is this a “last resort” treatment option? Does it limit future choices or “burn any bridges”? What are the most common side effects? Will I look like a cancer patient? Will my hair fall out? How might I feel while taking it—can most people keep working and doing their usual activities? Do common side effects tend to develop or get worse over time, or pretty much stay the same? What should patients watch out for or monitor while taking this medication? What should patients know about dosing? Is there a preferred starting dose or an “optimal” dose? If I tolerate a lower dose, should I go to a higher dose? What happens if cabozantinib doesn’t work for me? What other treatments might be available? I’ve heard about a drug called “Zanza,” the STELLAR-311 trial. What is it, and how does it fit into the current treatment landscape? What practical tips or “tricks of the trade” do you share with patients who may start this medication? Bonus: What’s on the horizon in NET research or treatment that you’re most excited about?
