NET cases rise steadily as survival boosts prevalence; experts argue it’s no longer rare, driving urgent demand for more resources and treatments.
Daniel M. Halperin, MD, of Winship Cancer Institute of Emory University; Jonathan R. Strosberg, MD, of Moffitt Cancer Center; and Simron Singh, MD, MPH, of Sunnybrook Odette Cancer Centre, discuss the multidisciplinary diagnosis and management of neuroendocrine tumors, from classification and somatostatin receptor PET imaging to peptide receptor radionuclide therapy and the alpha emitters on the horizon.
