Welcome to my Neuroendocrine Cancer terms and definitions list providing a source of meanings for acronyms and medical terms, all sourced from top Neuroendocrine Cancer sites.

How to use this list:

1. If your term begins with an A, click on A to find all terms beginning with A. Select your term from the list.

2. For numerical terms, please click on the hashtag (#) symbol in the A to Z strip.

3. The term definition including acronym or abbreviation will be given in full along with any of my published articles containing that term as long as I have tagged it on my website to display in the list.

Please note I’m constantly working on the repository to clean up all definitions, adding and removing links where necessary, and ensuring all definitions are linked to at least one article. Where a definition is not yet linked to an article, the definition will still be listed, and you will see a message saying “nothing found” and offering you a search of my entire website.

Thanks for supporting this repository which was a “lock-down” project.

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
