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 Jonathan Strosberg is another favourite of mine, not only because he is a prodigious researcher, writing and helping to write various studies on NETs. Plus, I’ve actually met him!

The discussion is centred on the following statement and question

Small-bowel neuroendocrine tumors (NETs) will eventually progress* during ongoing somatostatin analogue (SSA) therapy. Treatment options for progressive disease are limited, but emerging therapies may offer new hope for these challenging-to-treat patients. (* remember the title contains the term “advanced”).

A cup of tea

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
