Introduction: In 2012, many nation-wide gastroenterologists, endocrinologists, surgeons, radiologists and pathologists have established Japan NeuroEndocrine Tumor Society (JNETS) in Japan. JNETS is now composed of 304 institutes.

Aim(s): One of the activities of this society include establishing the registry system for NET patients to understand the current status of NET patients in Japan toward the revision of the guideline.

Materials and methods: The NET registry system has been contracted to TRI ,the 3rd party institute outside of JNETS with the financial support from JNETS. The JNETS members register the patients diagnosed as pancreatic, gastrointestinal, or lung/thoracic NET after 2012 with opt-in consent, starting on January 2015. The data registered in this system are examined by JNETS members to resolve clinical questions for NET disease in Japan.
