I thought this series might be useful for some of you after an interesting ‘google alert’ brought up these discussions. It comprises a roundtable discussion with known NET specialists and some big hitters too.
Jonathan Strosberg MD from Moffitt Cancer Center Florida
Jennifer Eads MD from University of Pennsylvania, Abramson Cancer Center
Thorvadur R. Halfdanarson MD from Mayo Rochester
The discussion is centred on numerous scenarios, and I’ll list them all below.
What are some of the recent developments in the treatment of NETs and carcinoid syndrome, and what might be on the horizon?
The first one
Somatostatin analogues (SSAs) are a therapeutic mainstay for the treatment of neuroendocrine tumors (NETs) and carcinoid syndrome, but, when progression occurs, additional interventions are needed. Some of the novel strategies that are being explored to treat patients with advanced NETs of varying origins include chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T-cell therapies and peptide receptor radionuclide therapy (PRRT) using alpha-particle emitters.
Q: What are some of the recent developments in the treatment of NETs and carcinoid syndrome, and what might be on the horizon.

I would also mention those who contributed to my “Tea Fund” which resides on PayPal. You don’t need a PayPal account as you can select a card but don’t forget to select the number of units first (i.e. 1 = £4, 2 = £8, 3 = £12, and so on), plus further on, tick a button to NOT create a PayPal account if you don’t need one. Clearly, if you have a PayPal account, the process is much simpler
