#3444 Earlier diagnosis of Neuroendocrine Tumors (NETs) through transformation of the South Wales NET Service

Introduction: Neuroendocrine tumors (NETs) are heterogeneous cancers, arising mainly from the gastroenteropancreatic tract. Delayed diagnosis and mislabelling are widely recognised internationally in midgut NETs with little data describing how to improve diagnosis times. In 2017, transformation of the South Wales NET Service included a change to a gastroenterology-led service model, alongside education and forming working relationships with gastroenterologists and surgeons.
