Multidisciplinary Management and Patient Flow in Neuroendocrine Tumors (NET): Consensus of a Tertiary Hospital

#1423

Introduction: Currently, there has been an improvement in diagnostic procedures and treatments of NET. Therefore, an effective teamwork is needed to choose the best approach for patients.

Aim(s): To design a clinical guideline.

Materials and methods: HUCA is a tertiary care center in Spain that serves about 40 new patients with NET each year from a population over one million. The multidisciplinary team meets monthly to discuss all new cases and consider other treatment options for those previously diagnosed. The committee is made up of different specialists: endocrinologist, pathologist, gastroenterologist, nuclear medicine, radiologist, surgeon and medical oncologist. Patient flow was designed from the previous clinical guidelines adapting them to our center and resources (Italian one was the reference guideline, Grimandi F. Endocrinol Invest 2014).
