ENETS Guidelines & Standards of Care
Several guidelines on the management of neuroendocrine tumors have been published by ENETS and by various expert groups and societies over the past 20 years. Novel diagnostics and treatment options, as well as an aim to move towards an individualised approach, and precision medicine for our patients have developed over the past few years. The broadened diagnostic spectrum, multiple therapy options in general, options for choosing the most promising individual therapies, and therapy sequences have made their way into the clinics.

New approach to guidance papers in 2021 - 2023
ENETS is in the process of establishing question-based guidance papers, written by experts in the field. The purpose of these guidance papers is to collect the latest development and present comprehensive guidance to all our colleagues, helping them to establish a best-practice solution for their patients in their daily work.
All guidance papers will be published in the Journal of Neuroendocrinology. There is open access for the first few weeks after publication, and ENETS members may view the guidance paper free of charge via MY ENETS at any time.
We are happy to share with you the first three publication of the series:
- European Neuroendocrine Tumor Society (ENETS) 2023 guidance paper for gastroduodenal NET G1-G3
- European Neuroendocrine Tumor Society (ENETS) 2023 guidance paper for digestive neuroendocrine carcinoma
- European Neuroendocrine Tumor Society (ENETS) 2022 Guidance Paper for Carcinoid Syndrome and Carcinoid Heart Disease, providing advice on the diagnosis and management of CS, with special emphasis on CHD.
ENETS is working on seven new and updated guidelines in the following areas:
- Pulmonary NET
- Functioning pancreatic NETs
- Non-functioning pancreatic NETs
- Small intestinal NETs
- Appendiceal NETs
- Colorectal NETs
- Hepatic metastases in NETs.
