Another episode in the expert opinion series. I thought this 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. “Dr Thor” is a favourite of mine.
Worth pointing out that Dr Thor is giving is own view on this and that view may not be the same as your own doctor and/or hospital in terms of frequency and type of imaging devices used. Nonetheless, his opinions are always interesting. Also, worth pointing out this is based on “advanced” NETs, e.g. metastatic cases and is mainly focussed on gastroenteropancreatic (GEP) NETs, particularly small intestine and pancreatic.
Thorvadur R. Halfdanarson MD from Mayo Rochester (and at the time of writing, President of NANETS)
The discussion is centred on the following statement and question
Image-based monitoring for patients with advanced neuroendocrine tumors (NETs) can be individualized based on the NET site and tumor characteristics. Emerging strategies may add to existing monitoring capabilities.

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
