Neuroendocrine Tumors Committee of Reference Hospital: Decision-Making Process on the Diagnostic and Therapeutic Approach to Patients with Neuroendocrine Tumors

#2277

Introduction: Neuroendocrine tumors (NETs) require a multidisciplinary approach in expert centers due to their rarity, heterogeneity and the lack of evidence about optimal clinical management.

Aim(s): Describe the cases presented at multidisciplinary committee meetings.

Materials and methods: We made a retrospective analysis of all the cases submitted to the committee in 2017. The multidisciplinary team meets monthly and is made up of: biochemists, endocrinologists, gastroenterologists, nuclear medicine doctors, oncologists, pathologists, radiologists and surgeons. All of them are specialized in the management of patients with neuroendocrine tumors.
