News from Neuroendocrine Cancer UK

‘Spotlight on Neuroendocrine Cancer’ is a collaboration between UKINETS & NCUK which aims to raise awareness of neuroendocrine cancer among non-NC specialist healthcare professionals (HCPs). As part of this initiative, we have created:

1.         Healthcare professional neuroendocrine cancer overviews
A series of overviews targeted at specific healthcare disciplines.  The aim of these is to act as a bite-size, practical educational aid to support HCPs.  We have completed overviews for GPs, gastroenterologists, endocrinologists, general surgeons and oncologists.

2.         Neuroendocrine cancer patient case studies for HCPs
A series of video case studies featuring patients highlighting NC symptoms, diagnosis, and treatments to raise awareness among healthcare professionals.
